Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks, For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow" Verse 3: I am puzzled as the newborn child I'm as riddled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with Death my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you: Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you" *** With a capo at the third fret, you can play G D C Em G F C G Em D C Em ******** by Dann Butterfield drumbo@geocities.com ********
