INTRO (These chords repeat for the whole song)
E  C  Dsus2  A 


VERSE ONE:
Come kneel by the river
in your smock of red.
I'm falling all over
my old friend
You visit these waters
on the wings of a dream,
and Iıll wait 'til the morning
as a test of your will.
To deny your danger­­
that cannot be smart.
But how can I live with what I desire
without breaking your heart?

VERSE TWO:
How I am devoted,
how I am callen,
to wait on your answer 
even as I am fallen.
To the passing eye
Iıve been known to fly.
Itıs a matter of breath,
and life, and death,
and riding the will of the sky.

VERSE THREE:
My love is an anchor
that sinks in your sound.
Oh, feed me to the water,
oh, give me to the ground.
Oh, render my lover
delivered from shame,
as I have no harbor
and a desperate name.
Oh, tear me asunder,
and break all my chains,
and leave me to anchor
whatever remains. (Stay on the A chord here for one extra measure before going back to the E)
