A# Cm F A#
[Verse 1]
A# Cm
When the wind is with me
F A#
But somehow out of sight
D#
Not knowing where it comes from
A#
Or where it goes
A# Cm
That's the way your memory
F A#
Shapes the middle of my night
D#
Since the last time I saw you
A#
And the words you chose
[Chorus 1]
F
When I said, "This must be what love is
D# A#
Like I saw it in a dream"
D#
You looked into my eyes and said,
F
"You Don't know what you mean
D# F
Cause love is for the fisherman who cast
A# D#
His nets too far upstream
D# F A#
Fishing for the moon in the water
[Verse 2]
A# Cm
So I act now as if I've forgot
F A#
My efforts all in vain
D#
I spent some time with a new girl
A#
Who made the simple world seem fine
Cm
But like a rose placed in a flower pot
F A#
G true nature contained
D#
Not knowing what she asks for
A#
Or what she'll find
[Chorus 2]
F
When she says, "If I've ever had love in my
D# A#
Life then surely this is it"
D#
I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't
F
Understand one bit
D# F A#
That love is for the fighter born to lose
D#
But never quit
D# F A#
Swinging for the moon in the water"
[Bridge]
D#
So I left her with her dreams where I
A#
Thought that she belonged
D# A#
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
D7
I hoped my loneliness found peace
Gm Gm/F
I hoped my number had been drawn
D#
When all I wanted from her was to
F
Remind me of you
[Verse 3]
A# Cm
So I stay out in the streets
F A#
Hoping to find you anywhere
D#
Now that I understand
A#
The woman you need to be
Cm
I can feel you in the heat
F A#
I can taste you in the air
D#
And I can't help but find your face in
A#
Everything I see
[Chorus 3]
F
And once I can admit you're gone I'll
D# A#
Place it on a star
D#
And wait for the day I'm what you need
F
And then reach out for your heart
D# F
Cause even if love is more my mistress
A# D#
Than my lovers ever are
D# F A# Cm F A#
You'll always be the moon in the water
A# Cm F A#
You'll always be the moon in the water
A# Cm F A#
You'll always be the moon in the water
