G                                 Em
Love,........ your boat's lost at sea............
Em             Am                 C           G
I stand on the shore.......In the warm summer eve
G           Em                      Am
waiting for you,....... waiting for you
C               G 
To come home to me


G                              Em   
Love,.........it's sometimes a shame
                   Am       C                  G
I walk through the field....In the cold autumn rain
G          Em               Am
Longing to hear, longing to hear
C               G
You call out my name


CHORUS

Em          Am
Fire on the water
                 Dm---G
And smoke in the sky
Em                  Am                     
I'll leave the lamp burning
                 Dm---G 
In case you drop by


VERSE 3

Time slips slowly away
I stand in the window
Well they all think I'm crazy
For waiting for you, for waiting for you
For waiting...
To come home to me.

REPEAT CHORUS


G                 Em
Love, I live in a dream
            Am     C         G
Night after night, day after day
            Em                   Am  
Still can't believe, still can't believe
C                   G
Your boat's lost at sea
Your boat's lost at sea
Your boat's lost at sea

Em                  Am
I'll leave the lamp burning
C                   G
Your boat's lost at sea
