Time and time again I would try to say
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know how I loved you
Well, anyway, you mean you don't love me.
That's what you said, isn't it?
I can smell 'em, can you, ah
The blossoms. The wind brings them down
There ain't much wind tonight...Hardly any.
You can't hear a sound, not the turn of a leaf
Nor the fall of a wave hittin' the sand
The tide's creepin up on the beach like a thief
Afraid to be caught stealin the land
On a night like this I start to wonder
And I always say two heads are better than one to
I don't need you, and don't need anybody helpin' me
Well, I got it figured out for myself
We're not important. What are we?
A couple of specks o' nuthin'
There's a hell of a lotta stars in the sky
And the sky's so big the sea looks small
And two little people, you and I
You're a funny kid, you know?
I don't remember meetin' a girl like you.
Hey, you're trying to get me to marry you?
Then what's puttin into my head baby?
You're different all right, I know what it is...
You have doped me with that little kid's face, right?
I'd wonder what it'd be like...
No, I know what it'd be like
It'd be awful! I can just see myself-
And love sick like any other guy
I'd throw away my sweater and dress up like a dude
In a dicky and a collar and a tie
Time and time again I would try to say
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Off you'd go in the mist of day
Aha...I'm not the kind of fella to marry anybody!
No, even if a girl was foolish enough to want me to
Don't worry about it, Billy
You're right about there bein' no wind
The blossoms are comin down by themselves
Just they're in time to I reckon.
