F Gm C F
[Verse 1]
F Gm
When the wind is with me
C F
But somehow out of sight
A#
Not knowing where it comes from
F
Or where it goes
F Gm
That's the way your memory
C F
Shapes the middle of my night
A#
Since the last time I saw you
F
And the words you chose
[Chorus 1]
C
When I said, "This must be what love is
A# F
Like I saw it in a dream"
A#
You looked into my eyes and said,
C
"You Don't know what you mean
A# C
Cause love is for the fisherman who cast
F A#
His nets too far upstream
A# C F
Fishing for the moon in the water
[Verse 2]
F Gm
So I act now as if I've forgot
C F
My efforts all in vain
A#
I spent some time with a new girl
F
Who made the simple world seem fine
Gm
But like a rose placed in a flower pot
C F
D true nature contained
A#
Not knowing what she asks for
F
Or what she'll find
[Chorus 2]
C
When she says, "If I've ever had love in my
A# F
Life then surely this is it"
A#
I said, "Anyone who talks like that doesn't
C
Understand one bit
A# C F
That love is for the fighter born to lose
A#
But never quit
A# C F
Swinging for the moon in the water"
[Bridge]
A#
So I left her with her dreams where I
F
Thought that she belonged
A# F
Not with my secrets, which she heard but never knew
A7
I hoped my loneliness found peace
Dm Dm/C
I hoped my number had been drawn
A#
When all I wanted from her was to
C
Remind me of you
[Verse 3]
F Gm
So I stay out in the streets
C F
Hoping to find you anywhere
A#
Now that I understand
F
The woman you need to be
Gm
I can feel you in the heat
C F
I can taste you in the air
A#
And I can't help but find your face in
F
Everything I see
[Chorus 3]
C
And once I can admit you're gone I'll
A# F
Place it on a star
A#
And wait for the day I'm what you need
C
And then reach out for your heart
A# C
Cause even if love is more my mistress
F A#
Than my lovers ever are
A# C F Gm C F
You'll always be the moon in the water
F Gm C F
You'll always be the moon in the water
F Gm C F
You'll always be the moon in the water
F Gm C C
