Here I Am - Emmylou Harris

I am standing by the river

I will be standing here forever

Tho you’re on the other side

My face you still can see

Why won’t you look at me

Here l am

I am searching thru the canyon

It is your name that I am calling

Tho you’re so far away

I know you hear my plea

Why won’t you answer me

Here I am

I am in the blood of your heart

The breath of your lung

Why do you run for cover

You are from the dirt of the earth

And the kiss of my mouth

I have always been your lover

Here I am

I am the promise never broken

And my arms are ever open

In this harbor calm and still

I will wait until

Until you come to me

Here I am
