David - Loved a Girl

I love a girl but I don't know who
I love a girl but she won't stay true
I can just tell
Not sight or a smell
I love a girl but I don't know who

I loved a girl but she faded away
And to this girl I devoted a day
Alas I don't grieve
With my heart on my sleeve
I loved a girl but she faded away

Pity and sorrow can wait 'til the morrow for now is the matter of
tears
Rivers of sadness, salt lakes of light madness, whose tides can keep
turning for years
Where is my peace, I crave my release, I am trapped in a womb of
despair
For much more I miss her soft golden kiss and the subtle fibres of her
hair

The moment has gone my love, I fear
The moment evaded us all
Though I should have seen, our love was so green
That it never could save us at all, not here
It couldn't have saved us at all

I loved a girl and I think I still do
It's not who you think, in this I stay true
She hasn't a name
A face, all the same
I loved a girl and I think I still do
