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
