I never sought to love you Never thought you could love me So I was wrong about Me loving you and right About you loving me Ships they do 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 Oh I never sought to love you Never thought you would love me And so I was wrong about Me loving you and right About you loving me
