Asleep On The Wind
Glen Campbell
written By Jimmy Webb
Original lyrics
Verse 1
F Bb Gm C
Love is a glass of wine
D# Bb
It's Balanced on the siderail of a ship
Dm F Bb
Across the sea at midnight calm, it may not last the daylight
Gm F
calm And the trip is long
Bb
And the waves are strong
F Gm
But then again, it might be up there forever
Chorus 1
Bb F
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
C Bb
But sleep on the winds
Gm Bb C
And if untouched by someone's careless hand
Am Bb
Asleep on the winds
Gm C Am F Bb
Our love might last until the journey ends
C Gm C
Alive Alive
Verse 2
Am F Bb C
And our lives are just bubbles of time
Bb F
They're rainbow-colored they're
Bb
They're shining in the sun
Am Dm Gm
They drift above the treetops now
F Bb C Bb
In danger if the breeze drops somehow
F
And darling, that's all it would take
Bb
yet we threaten not to break
F F Gm
And you know we could be up here forever
Chorus 2
F
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
C Bb
But sleep on the winds
Gm C F
And if untouched by someone's careless hand
C F Bb
Asleep on the winds
Outro
C Bb Am
Our lives might last untill the love begins
Bb C Bb C
So stay alive and let me try as hard as you do
F Bb Gm C F Dm
To stay alive, please let me be as much alive as you
Gm C Gm Bb G
I'll try Alive Alive
