Fairport Convention - After Halloween lyrics

rate me

(Sandy Denny)

Red and gold and Halloween have passed us by

The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky

You are so far away and I could touch you if I may

But don't you worry now, I'm only dreaming anyway

You may be lonely, you may be just on your own

It could be anywhere, some place that I have know

But who am I and do we really live these days at all

And are they simply feelings we have learnt and do recall

Oh, the sea has made me cry

But I love her too, so maybe I love you

Tears are only made of salt and water

And across the waves the sound of laughter

October has gone and left me with a song

That I will sing to you although the moment may be wrong

Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?

I often wonder why I always have to say

I'm only dreaming anyway

Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?

I often wonder why I always have to say

I'm only dreaming anyway
