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
