Oh my dear
     G          A         D
your waters are wonderous clear
              A     F#m
And the north wind
  G      A
caresses my skin

~CHORUS~
  Em             A
     You make me feel
          D         A/C#
     Like I could relinquish
          Bm7     D/A       G             A
     This body of stone and steel...  and fly

        Em     F#m G      A
And you cradle me  like a lover
    Em         F#m       G      A
And rock me in your arms like a mother
Em        F#m    G   A     Em   F#m  G    A      
With your lullaby of water and  sky

D     A      F#m
Oh mo chroi
          G           A           D
You're as deep and as wide as the sea
              A     F#m
And you carry me so
        G            A        Em
There's nowhere that we can't go

~REPEAT CHORUS~

Em       F#m          G               A
Oh how I wish that my hold would rip open
    Em    F#m               G            A
And you'd fill me with your love like an ocean
Em         F#m     G            A
I would be ever so beautifully 
Em  F#m    G   A   Em F#m G A         Em F#m G A
bro—ken... You and I...       You and I...
        Em F#m G  A         Em F#m G A          
You and I...        You and I...        
        D   A          F#m G
And the sky... And the sky...
        D   A           F#m G
And the sky...  And the sky...

D       A      F#m
  Oh my queen
            G               A          D
I want to reveal all that's never been seen
              A           F#m
And show them your power
               G          A           Em
That blooms in your belly just like a flower

~REPEAT CHORUS~

Em         F#m      G          A
Everything holy and everything hidden
      Em           F#m        G            A
We're holding each other, the loch and the Maiden
      Em        F#m      G        A      Em      F#m  G A        
We go waltzing around... Merry dancers.   You and I
        D   A           F#  G        
And the sky...  And the sky... 
        D   A           F#  G     D    
And the sky...  And the sky...
