C
You take my heart away from me.
       G
But my soul is living free.
        C
With my tears we'll wash the streets.
        G                                   C
With my eyes the blind will see that I need you.
         C
When I'm gone then dance for me.
            G
Yeah sing a song, yeah sing for me.
             C
Whenever you cry, don't cry for me.
           G                              C
I won't be dead, I will be free, oh yes I will.


[Chorus]
                    F                 C
I'm only across the river, across the water.
                 G                   C
There I'll wait, wait, I'll wait for you.


[Verse 2]
         C
You have cared to live with me.
           G
And I have cared to live with you.
          C
And so we know what love can do.
          G                                  C
Oh yes we know what love can dare, oh yes we do.


[Chorus]
                    F                 C
I'm only across the river, across the water.
                 G                   C
There I'll wait, wait, I'll wait for you.


[Verse 3]
         C
When you feel the summer breeze.
         G
When you see the autumn leaves.
         C
When the snow begins to fall.
         G                                   C
Then you know that's when I'm calling out to you.


[Chorus]
                    F                 C
I'm only across the river, across the water.
                 G                   C
There I'll wait, wait, I'll wait for you.
                    F                 C
I'm only across the river, across the water.
                 G                   C
There I'll wait, wait, I'll wait for you.

                 G                   C
There I'll wait, wait, I'll wait for you.
