Em Em/G Am D You are awake though the night has G E7/B Long covered the grounds Am Am/C Em Em/G As you're rocking the cradle, I know F# B7 Em Em/G You are quietly weeping ( F# B7 ) Dm/E E7/B Oh, how l want to see that tender Am Am/G# Am/G Look in your eyes F#m7(5-) D D/F# Oh how I want just one moment to G C F# B7 Kiss them gently! Em Em/G Am D We're miles apart. And although G E7/B Stars are lit in the sky Am Am/C Em Yet the dark steppe between us Em/G F# B7 Tonight feels so troubled and Em Em/G F# B7 Empty Em Em/G Am D I do believe you'll remain ever G E7/B Faithful and true Am Am/C Em It's this faith that gave courage to Em/G F# B7 Em Me in the fiercest of battles ( Em/G F# B7 ) Em Em/G Am D And I'm at peace 'cause I know I'm G E7/B Returning to you Am Am/C Em Em/G And whatever befalls me, for sure F# B7 Em Em/G I'll return in fine fettle ( F# B7 ) Dm/E E7/B I fear no death. It's been taking Am Am/G# Am/G F#m7(5-) Its toll all around D D/F# G And even now it is raging and will C F# B7 Not settle Em Em/G Am D You are awake though the night has G E7/B Long covered the grounds Am Am/C Em Em/G As you're rocking the cradle I know F# B7 Em Em/G I'll return in fine fettle ( F# B7 Em Em/G ) ( Am D G E7/B ) Am Am/C Em Em/G As you're rocking the cradle I know F# B7 Em Em/G I'll return in fine fettle Final F# B7
