You just happened to be there, that's all

F

That I really did try to get close to
you.
I couldn't see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn't see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
I didn't realize just what I did hear
I didn't realize how young you were.
But, sooner or later, one of us must
know
You just doing what you're supposed
to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to
you.
I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldn't see where we were goin'
But you said you knew an' I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm.
But, sooner or later, one of us must
know
You just did what you're supposed to
do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to
you.
