about

First released on 'Tears of Morning'.

lyrics

Black cat in my path today / Black news chilled me to the marrow
Black cloud standing in my way / Two birds of prey and one for sorrow
A little chaos flown from my life / Too late to hope for one last summer

A sea fret hides the harbour / A cold wind blows off the sea
You lie somewhere I'll never find you / And no-one's lying next to me
And surely these are not the places / That we were meant to be

Long ago you blew into my life / Like a friendly hurricane
Near misses, French kisses / Then you'd be gone again
Till later you'd drop by / And break my heart again

Sometimes I was sure I loved you
Sometimes I even think that you loved me
But there was always something else
Somewhere else you had to be
Always something in the way / Someone else you had to see

Though I always knew we'd drive each other crazy
My fevered heart still hoped someday
I'd find you waiting round the corner
For someone I hoped some day to be
Waiting there for someone / I never could quite be

Mist rolls up the mountain / A cold wind blows off the sea
There's no ledge for us to meet on / And no-one's lying next to me
And surely these are not the places / That we were meant to be
