  You come from far away with pictures in your eyes 
     G      G/F#     Em7       Em7/B        C     C    D/A   Dsus 
Of coffee shops and morning streets in the blue and silent sunrise 
    G        G/F#    Em7  Em7/B     C    C    G   G/B 
But night is the cathedral where we recognized the sign 
   G         G/F#     Em7    Em7/B  G           Dsus/A   G   G/B 
We strangers know each other now as part of the whole design 

 Am7  Am7/9  D/A     Dsus    Am7   Am7/9    D/A   Dsus 
Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep 
Am7     Am7/9  D/A   Dsus        Am7   Am7/9          D/A  Dsus 
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat 
G   G/F#   Em7   C   G/B   G/F#   G   G/B 
Ohhhh... 

You're the jester of this courtyard with a smile like a girl's 
Distracted by the women with the dimples and the curls 
By the pretty and the mischevious, by the timid and the blessed 
By the blowing skirts of ladies who promise to gather you to their breast 

Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep 
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat 
Ohhhh...

guitar solo 

You have hands of raining water and that earring in your ear 
The wisdom on your face denies the number of your years 
With the fingers of the potter and the laughing tale of a fool 
The arranger of disorder with your strange and simple rules 
Yeah, now I've met me another spinner of strange and gauzy threads 
With a long and slender body  and a bump upon the head 

Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep 
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat 
Ohhhh... 

With a long and slender body and the sweetest, softest hands 
And we'll blow away forever soon and go on to different lands 
And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay 
And you will hear yourself in song, blowing by one day 

But now hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep 
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat 
G   G/F#   Em7   C    G/B   G/F#   G   C 
Ohhhhhh... 
G   G/F#   Em7   Em7/B   C   C  Dsus/A   D   Dsus   D 
Ohhhhhh...
