    E         F#m
You come from far away
     D                A
With pictures in your eyes
         E         F#m
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
       D               E
In the blue and silent sunrise
    A        E        F#m
But night is the cathedral
         D              A
Where we recognized the sign
             E    F#m
We strangers know each other now
   D           E     A
As part of the whole design
 
Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby
     Bm            E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         E
Curl me up inside you
           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat
A   F#m     D    E 
Oh..
 
A                          F#m
You are the jester of this courtyard
       D            A
With a smile like a girl's
A        E        F#m
Distracted by the women
         D               E
With the dimples and the curls
       A      E       F#m
By the pretty and the mischievous
       D             A
By the timid and the blessed
       A       E         F#m
By the blowing skirts of ladies
               D          E        A
Who promise to gather you to their breast
 
Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby
     F#m  Bm7      E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         Em
Curl me up inside you
                                E
And let me hear you through the heat
A  E  F#m  D  A  E  A  F#m  D  E
Oh..
 
A                 F#m7
You have hands of raining water
         D               A
And that earring in your ear
A          E       F#m7
The wisdom on your face
           D              E
Denies the number of your years
         A       E      F#m7
With the fingers of the potter
        D                    A
And the laughing tale of the fool
A            E  F#m7
The arranger of disorder
          D           E      A
With your strange and simple rules
A            E       F#m7
Yes now I've met me another spinner
D                   A
Of strange and gauzy threads
A          E          F#m7
With a long and slender body
      D    E        A
And a bump upon the head
 
 
Bm          Em
Oh, hold me like a baby
     Bm            E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         Em
Curl me up inside you
           E                  
And let me hear you through the heat
A  E  F#m  D  E  
Oh...
 
A               E      F#m7
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         E     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
D       E      A
Blowing by one day
 
 
       Bm            E
But now hold me like a baby
     Bm            E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         E
Curl me up inside you
E           
And let me hear you through the heat
A  E  F#m  D  E A  D  A  F#m  D  E
Oh..
A  E  F#  D  A  E  A
