E  B7      E
Love, ......
 B7     E
adrift ......
B7       A      A/C#
floating by the open window
E    B7      E
oh, the sentiment ......
  B7         E
reflections.......
     B7
what can enter......
     A        A/C#
when our hearts .....
F#m       A
Here ......  appear

   E   A    B
how sacred love can be


E    B7        E
Shared, ..........
   B7       E
.................................
   B7    A      A/C#
............. cultivated


E  E/G# A        E
Our love  ...... scared thing
     E/G#   A
..................................
E    E/G#    A
 in the darkness ...
E   E/G#   A        E
 and still so strong ............
  E/G# A        E
Our love  ....... infinite thing
     E/G#    A     E
like the sun’s last ray on the sea
    E/G# A
 as it sets low .....
B             A
and the moon rises.

E  B7  E B7 E  B7  E B7
