It Never Was You

I’ve been hunting through woods

I’ve been fishing over waters

For one certain girl

Who’s a certain father’s daughter

I’ve been following trails

I’ve been staring after ships

For a certain pair of eyes

And a certain pair lips

Yes, I’ve looked everywhere

You can look without wings

And I’ve found a great variety

Of interesting things

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

An occasional sunset reminded me

Or a flower hanging high on a tulip tree

Or one red star hung low in the west

Or a heart-break call from the meadowlark’s nest

Made me think for a moment

Maybe it's true

I've found her in the star

In the call

In the blue

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

Anywhere, anywhere you

I’ve been running through rains

And the winds that follow after

For one certain face

With an unforgotten laughter

I’ve been following signs

I’ve been searching through the lands

For a certain pair of arms

And a certain pair of hands

Yes, I’ve tried a kiss here

And I’ve tried a kiss there

For when you are out in company

The boys and girls will pair

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

An occasional sunset reminded me

Or a flower hanging high on a tulip tree

Or one red star hung low in the west

Or a heart-break call from the meadowlark's nest

Made me think for a moment

Maybe it’s true

I’ve found her in the star

In the call

In the blue

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

Anywhere, anywhere you
