just slips I (F)saw your brown eyes turn ing once to (Em7)fire.

You (G)are (F)like a hur ri (G)cane: there’s (G)calm (F)in your (G)eye.

And (G)I’m (F)get ting blown a (G)way to some where saf er where the feel ings stay.

I want to love you, but I’m get ting blown (G)a (Am)way.

(Am)I am just a dream er, in but (G)you are just a dream,

and (F)you could have been an y one to (Em7)me.

Be (Am)fore that mo ment you touched my lips, that (G)per fect feel ing when time are.

You (G)are (F)like a hur ri (G)cane: there’s (G)calm (F)in your (G)eye.

And (G)I’m (F)get ting blown a (G)way to some where saf er where the feel ings stay.

I want to love you, but I’m get ting blown (G)a (Am)way.
