And I can't catch up, she just skips away, on the tide
Sometimes a great notion can lead you astray
So weak to devotion, so strong to desire
CHORUS:
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sailboat ride
Come on now, angels are on your side
But she slips away, oh and never stays
Am D Dsus Am D Dsus Am D Dsus Am Am INTRO RIFF
Like mercury gliding, a silver teardrop that falls And I can't hold on, through my fingers she's gone At the foot of the mountain, such a long way to climb How will I ever get up there, though I know I must try CHORUS
Like a dream on the ocean, always drifting away And I can't catch up, she just skips away, on the tide Oh slips away, on the tide, oh slips away, on the tide Am INTRO RIFF Am
