         Am
Well you asked how much I love you
         G
Why do ships with sails love the wind?
         Am
And will I be thinking of you
       G
Will I ever pass this way again

C
I'll be returning some day
        Am
Until then,

Chorus:
             Dm
please don't ask me my direction
         C
Let my tracks be buried in the sea
           Dm
'Cause to wander is my infection
           C
'Till the four winds bring you back to me
 B
Don't count your memories
  D
Think of me as just a dream
 F                        E
Just like this melody, I sing

Well, you asked how much I love you
Why do ships with sails love the wind?
And will I be thinking of you?
Will I ever pass this way again?

I'll be returning some day
Until then

Chorus:
Please don't ask me my direction
Let my tracks be buried in the sea
'Cause to wander's my infection
'Til the four winds bring you back to me
Don't count your memories
Think of me as just a dream
Just like this melody, I sing
