[G] [D]
One day I looked up and there you were Like a simple [Em] question looking [D] for an answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw [G] myself upon your [D] shore
What if I don't find [G] you when [D] I have landed?
Won't you leave me here to [G] die on the [D] shore's planet?
I think I know why the dove howls at the moon
[G] [D] I say, De La, De La, me nangia De La, when I'm with you
De La, Son De La, Mama Son De La, I burn for you

[D] I've been waiting [G] day [F#m] and night, I burn [D] for you
A flying bird sings inside the cage [G] that is my [D] heart
The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to the stake that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
