| A | D | A |
Like a | lion in the winter, I can | hear the summer | call |
| E7 |
Like a ship out on the ocean made of | stone |
| A | A7 | D | A |
And some | times when I get | lonely, I can | swear I hear you | call |
| E7 | D |
Oh the nights are cold when | you don't keep me | warm |
| A | D | A |
And | when I first | saw you, I first | loved you |
| E7 | D | A |
With a song that I | sang | to the fire in your | eyes |
| D | A |
But somebody | told you that it wouldn't be | easy |
| E7 | D | A |
And you carried that | lie | for the devil to | sing |
| A | D | A |
Some sail | rivers deep and muddy, some sail | rivers clear and | cold |
| E7 |
But the river I'm sailing goes to | sea |
| A | A7 | D | A |
And some | times I do grow | weary, | sometimes I feel | old |
| E7 | D |
And sometimes I wonder | if you think of | me |
