Deptford Days
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.
I guess you knew
The way I feel about you
More than any words can say
Yeah it's true
I never made love with you
But I loved you anyway
Against the light
I saw you smiling, laughing
As you turned to me you waved
Ooh such a night
I was never more than happy
Than to stand and hear you play
Deptford Days
And here at last
I find I really loved you
So the piper now, he's got to pay
Don't cling to your past
Don't build my words around it
Or forever these feelings will stay
Against the light
I saw you smiling, laughing
I see you turn and walk away
Ooh such a night
You seemed more than happy
Just to stand and hear me play
Deptford Days
