A--F#m
D--E--A

A             F#m        
You come from far away

D                A
With pictures in your eyes

A                F#m
Of coffeeshops and morning streets

D                      E
In the blue and silent sunrise

A                F#m
But night is the cathedral

         D              A
Where we recognized the sign

A                      F#m
We strangers know each other now

D                    A
As part of the whole design

Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby

B             E
That will not fall asleep

Bm         E
Curl me up inside you

           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat

A         D        A
Oh..

A                          F#m
You are the jester of this courtyard

       D            A
With a smile like a girl's

A                 F#m
Distracted by the women

         D            E
With the dimples and the curls

       A              F#m
By the pretty and the mischievous

       D             A
By the timid and the blessed

       A             F#m
By the blowing skirts of ladies

               D                   A
Who promise to gather you to their breast

Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby

B             E
That will not fall asleep

Bm         E
Curl me up inside you

           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat

A         D        A
Oh..

A                 F#m
You have hands of raining water

D                 A
And that earring in your ear

A                F#m
The wisdom on your face

D                        E
Denies the number of your years

A                       F#m
With the fingers of the potter

D                        A
And the laughing tale of the fool

A               F#m
The arranger of disorder

D                          A
With your strange and simple rules

A                    F#m
Yes now I've met me another spinner

D                   A
Of strange and gauzy threads

A                  F#m
With a long and slender body

D                  A
And a bump upon the head

Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby

B             E
That will not fall asleep

Bm         E
Curl me up inside you

           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat

A
Oh...

E               F#m
With a long and slender body

        D               A
And the sweetest softest hands

E                   F#m
And we'll blow away forever soon

        D              E
And go on to different lands

      A           F#m 
And please do not ever look for me

         D           A
But with me you will stay

    E             F#m
And you will hear yourself in song

E          A
Blowing by one day

Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby

B             E
That will not fall asleep

Bm         E
Curl me up inside you

           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat

A
Oh..
