Never Saw You Coming
The Songs
Never Saw You Coming
©Jeff Henry 2006
It was in the summertime, I was feeling low,
Nights went on for ever, days dragged by so slow,
And I sang in that crowded bar, Scarboro’ Fair,
I looked up, I saw you there,
Nights went on for ever, days dragged by so slow,
And I sang in that crowded bar, Scarboro’ Fair,
I looked up, I saw you there,
We laughed in that crowded bar, walked in summer rain,
Shared our dreams in the shadows, nothing to explain,
You were always smiling, I drowned in your eyes,
Never dreamed I’d ever see you cry,
Shared our dreams in the shadows, nothing to explain,
You were always smiling, I drowned in your eyes,
Never dreamed I’d ever see you cry,
You hit me like a hurricane, blew my cares away,
We chased our dream of sometime, lived from day to day,
Stole our time together, thieves in the night,
Never dreamed that love could feel so right,
We chased our dream of sometime, lived from day to day,
Stole our time together, thieves in the night,
Never dreamed that love could feel so right,
There were days, crazy days, all we did was smile,
Not a word between us, happy for a while,
Just some words you overheard, just some jealousy,
That brought the tears, and took your love from me,
Not a word between us, happy for a while,
Just some words you overheard, just some jealousy,
That brought the tears, and took your love from me,
And I never saw you coming,
Where you came from I don’t know,
But it’ll break my heart to stand and watch you go.
Where you came from I don’t know,
But it’ll break my heart to stand and watch you go.
And I never saw it coming,
Where it came from I don’t know,
And now it breaks my heart to stand and watch you go.
Where it came from I don’t know,
And now it breaks my heart to stand and watch you go.
And I never saw you coming...
And I never saw you coming...
Rabbits sit in the middle of the road, staring at oncoming traffic, unable to move. This song could have been written by one such rabbit - obviously one of the more literate ones!
