Sea Fret Lyrics

Black cat in my path today

Black news chilled me to the marrow

Black cloud standing in my way

Two birds of prey and one for sorrow

A little chaos flown from my life

Too late to hope for one last summer

A sea fret hides the harbour

A cold wind blows off the sea

You lie somewhere I'll never find you

And no-one's lying next to me

And surely these are not the places

That we were meant to be

Long ago you blew into my life

Like a friendly hurricane

Near misses, French kisses

Then you'd be gone again

Till later you'd drop by

And break my heart again

Sometimes I was sure I loved you

Sometimes I even think that you loved me

But there was always something else

Somewhere else you had to be

Always something in the way

Someone else you had to see

Though I always knew we'd drive each other crazy

My fevered heart still hoped someday

I'd find you waiting round the bend

For someone I hoped some day to be

Waiting there for someone

I never could quite be

Mist rolls up the mountain

A cold wind blows off the sea

There's no ledge for us to meet on

And no-one's lying next to me

And surely these are not the places

That we were meant to be
