[F#]
[B] [F#]
There's a man who's been out sailing in [B] a decade full of dreams
[F#] But he takes her to a schooner and he treats her [C#] like a queen
[F#] Buying beads from [B] California with [F#] their emerald [B] stones and green
He has [F#] called her from the harbor
He has kissed her with his freedom
He has heard her after starboard
In the [B] breaking and the breathing [F#] of the water [B] weeds
[F#]
While she was busy being [B] free
[F#] There's a man who climbed a mountain [B] and he's calling out her [F#] name
And he hopes her heart [B] can hear three [F#] thousand miles he calls again
He can think her there beside [B] him.
He [F#] can miss her [B] just the same
He has [F#] missed her in the forest
While he showed her all the flowers
And the branches sang the chorus
While he climbed the skinny towers of a forest tree
[B] [F#] And she was somewhere being free
[B] [F#] There's a man who sent a letter
[B] And he's waiting for reply
[F#] He has asked her of her [B] travels [F#] since the day they said [C#] goodbye
[F#] He writes wish you [B] were beside [F#] me.

[F#] There's the one who [C#] sometimes [F#] calls
There's the one who [B] writes her letters [F#] with his facts and [B] figures

[F#] She has brought them to her senses
They will laugh inside her laughter
Now she rallies her defenses
Because she [B] fears that one will ask [F#] her for eternity

[F#]
There's a man who [B] sends her metal

And a man who wants a star
