Verse 1:

C                               G7           G
I believe my steps are growing wearier each day,

                  G7            C
Still I've got a journey on my mind.

                                      G7
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay,

       G                            C
And my one regret is leaving you behind.

I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand,

And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout,

          F                    C             G7                C
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.

C                                     G7
But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross,

      G                             C
And somehow I've a feeling it will be.

                                   G
When it comes your time to travel likewise don't feel lost,

For I will be the first one that you'll see.

Verse 3:

   D                                    A7
Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare,

                                             D
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes,

                                          A7               A
So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away

                                   D
Until you come then we'll see paradise.

And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.
