C Dm G C
[Verse 1]
C Dm
When the wind is with me
G C
But somehow out of sight
F
Not knowing where it comes from
C
Or where it goes
C Dm
That's the way your memory
G C
Shapes the middle of my night
F
Since the last time I saw you
C
And the words you chose
[Chorus 1]
G
When I said, "This must be what love is
F C
Like I saw it in a dream"
F
You looked into my eyes and said,
G
"You Don't know what you mean
F G
Cause love is for the fisherman who cast
C F
His nets too far upstream
F G C
Fishing for the moon in the water
[Verse 2]
C Dm
So I act now as if I've forgot
G C
My efforts all in vain
F
I spent some time with a new girl
C
Who made the simple world seem fine
Dm
But like a rose placed in a flower pot
G C
A true nature contained
F
Not knowing what she asks for
C
Or what she'll find
[Chorus 2]
G
When she says, "If I've ever had love in my
F C
Life then surely this is it"
F
I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't
G
Understand one bit
F G C
That love is for the fighter born to lose
F
But never quit
F G C
Swinging for the moon in the water"
[Bridge]
F
So I left her with her dreams where I
C
Thought that she belonged
F C
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
E7
I hoped my loneliness found peace
Am Am/G
I hoped my number had been drawn
F
When all I wanted from her was to
G
Remind me of you
[Verse 3]
C Dm
So I stay out in the streets
G C
Hoping to find you anywhere
F
Now that I understand
C
The woman you need to be
Dm
I can feel you in the heat
G C
I can taste you in the air
F
And I can't help but find your face in
C
Everything I see
[Chorus 3]
G
And once I can admit you're gone I'll
F C
Place it on a star
F
And wait for the day I'm what you need
G
And then reach out for your heart
F G
Cause even if love is more my mistress
C F
Than my lovers ever are
F G C Dm G C
You'll always be the moon in the water
C Dm G C
You'll always be the moon in the water
C Dm G C
You'll always be the moon in the water
C Dm G C
