Lyrics Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention

You Never Wanted Me

Wondering and waiting, my back against the wall

Not a word that passed between us comes to recall

Just your shadow at the window as you pass on down the hall

You never wanted me and 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 a living out of lies

But if I could change my ways we would never have said goodbye

If you ever get the time, please think of me

It's a lock that can't be broken and there isn't any key

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 a dream that never came

But there are no answers given when love is just a game

And you never wanted me and now I feel the same
