You Never Wanted Me

You Never Wanted Me (BBC Session - Top Gear 2/6/68) - Fairport Convention

Wondering and waiting

My back against the wall

Not a word that passed between us

Comes to call

Just your shadow on the window

And your step on down the hall

You never wanted me

Never knew me at all

I haven't any picture

To set before my eyes

Nothing I can blame

When the blues start to rise

Just the memory of laughter

And the living out of lies

And if I could change my ways

We would never have said goodbye

If you ever get the time

Please think on me

It's a lock that can't be broken

And there isn't any key

And I'm only in your mind

Only you can set me free

You can't hurt me anymore

And it isn't hard to see

Someday someone will leave you

And I know you'll feel the same

But you'll mark it down to memory

And the dream that never came

Well there are no answers given

When love is just a game

And you never take me

And now I feel the same
