  • I once loved a lady who did change into a child
    I saw the light of day shine in her eyes
    I loved her like a baby and I raised her to the sky
    It seems the light of day did pass me by
    Now she walks along the seashore
    And she listens to the sea
    But I can't say if she ever thinks of me

    If I were of the ocean
    Or a wave upon the sand
    Or just a drop of water in her hand
    A pebble or a broken shell
    A rock upon the shore
    I doubt if I could love her any more

    Now she walks along the seashore
    And she listens to the sea
    And I can't say if she ever thinks of me
    No I can't say if she ever thinks of me Writer/s: JOHN LEES, LES HOLROYD, MELVYN PRITCHARD, STUART J WOLSTENHOLME
