Key: Gm  
Chords used: Gm, B, F, Dm  
Capo: 3rd fret
Let me Dsail ....Emdepths of your soul
Let me Ganchor .... can Dbe to your Emshore
I'm coming into Bmdry land
Been a Glong time at Emsea
And the Dseason ...
                      Em(maybe  Em   D  G)
Has long awaited me
GTides and waves have Dkept me
Kept me Emgoing
GI'm longing for the Dcalm
I'm heading for the Empastures
I can Emsee on your Gdry land
Let the Bmsea that once did Emtake me
(Bm?)                      D  
Bring me back safe to your door
For I Emlong to touch the Ddry land of your Gshore
DClear back to Emland I'm rowing
DClear the deck let me Emtouch your soul
Maybe I'll Bmbring you back a Ggift of love
I'll Dpromise you so much Gmore
The Gs and Ems (or Bs and Gms in the original key) seem a bit interchangeable; i know 
missed some nice fancy bits here which could be added, although playing it on piano sure 
help. Feel free to repost with fancy bits if you can figure them out.
