Emmylou Harris Here I Am Lyrics

Here I Am Lyrics

I am standing by the river

I will be standing here forever

Though you're on the other side

My face you still can see

Why won't you look at me?



Here I am

Here I am



I am searching through the canyon

It is your name that I am calling

Though you're so far away

I know you hear my plea

Why won't you answer me?



Here I am

Here I am



Here I am

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

Here I am



Here I am

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

Here I am



Here I am

Here I am



Here I am

Here I am
