There But For You Go I

                                  This is hard to say, but as I wandered through the lea

I felt for just a fleeting moment that I was suddenly free of being lonely;

Then I closed my eyes and saw the very reason why.

I saw a man with his head bowed low

His heard had no place to go,

I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh:

There but for you go I.

I saw a man walking by the sea

Alone with the tide was he,

I looked and I thought as I watched him go by:

There but for you go I.

Lonely men around me trying not to cry;

Till the day you found me, there among them was I.

I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own.

I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky:

There but for you go I.

I saw a man with his head bowed low

His heard had no place to go,

I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh:

There but for you go I.

Alone with the tide was he,

Till the day you found me, there among them was I.

I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own.

I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky:

There but for you go I.
