never sought to love you

Never thought you would love me

So I was wrong

About me loving you

And right about you loving me

Ships they will break from their moorings

Vessels will float out to sea

Way on the drift

There goes my skiff

It's left me to float along the lea

Trees they will shake loose their branches

Prairies they shock into flame

Though it's on land

Change must be planned for

It's loneliness that ever stays the same

I never sought to love you

Never thought you would love me

So I was wrong

About me loving you

And right about you loving me
