Lyrics

When we were walking down the lane that night
The green turned grey and blue my mind
My time stood still and even did my feet
The night spread out its outworn cov'ring o'er the fields
And I guess I did see you, baby, but you didn't see me at all

If she'd seen me
She would have noticed my pain
If she'd felt me
She would have felt the burning
Of the sea

We met our place at half past one am
The moonlight dallied 'cross the dell
My legs sat down and even did my soul
The quietness blew its breeze to drive away your oath
And I guess I did hear you, baby, but I think you said nothing at all

When I was walking home the lane this morn
Some beams came dripping down the hall
The cov'ring lifted and the grey went on
Towards another blue man's or a blue girl's heart
And I guess I will miss you, baby, but I hope you won't miss me at all

If she'd seen me this night
She could have noticed my love
If she could've felt me
She would have felt the burning
Of the sea
