Emmylou Harris - Here I Am lyrics

[Verse 1:] 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 [Chorus:] Here I am [Verse 2:] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3:] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 4:] 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 [Chorus]
