St. Ives

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

And you're far too far away

It's been years since we spoke

But I wonder if you think

Of you and I, I can only hope

With a new man in your head

And a new home for your heart

Our romance is long dead

But a friend is what I lost

And take me back to St. Ives

Where we both lived different lives

Kept warm in winter nights

Harps played by candlelight

Oo-oo-oo-oh oh oo-oh

I made a fool of myself

Making a fool out of you

Through all the times you wept

You thought that you were being used

I tried to learn my lesson

Not to read between the lines

But through all the mild affection

Please know that the fault was mine

And take me back to St. Ives

Where we both lived different lives

Kept warm in winter nights

Harps played by candlelight

Oo-oo-oo-oh oh oo-oh oo-oh oh oh

Oo-oh oh

And if we saw each other now

Would we pick up where we left

Or would you glance the other way?

A simple sign we must forget

'Cause you're far too far away

It's been years since we spoke

But I wonder if you think

Of you and I, I can only hope

You take me back to St. Ives

Where we both lived different lives

Kept warm in winter nights

Harps played by candlelight

Oh-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh oh oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Oh oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh oh oh

Oh whoa oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh oh
