Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Book Song

If she knew what I see while I'm watching

Would she know where to smile, what to say

When she leaves from her book to be with me

Where's her mind as she stands while I play

She left behind names in the pages

And the time she took out they stayed here

Now she thinks that she maybe should tell them

Of my book and the places she's been

Now she's looking at me while I'm writing

Does she know where to smile, what to say

When she leaves from her book to be with me

What's she thinking about while I play
