ben davis - it never was you lyrics

[brom, spoken]
i can’t take orders. no matter how hard i try, i simply cannot take orders from anybody

[tina, spoken]
but why?

[brom, spoken]
i know you’ll say this is ridiculous, but i think maybe it was something i ate

[tina, spoken]
don’t be silly. of course, i can see that if you can’t take orders, then you can’t work for my father, and then you won’t see so much of me. and there’s probably someone else, and—

[brom, spoken]
no, no, tina. i’ve been utterly miserable away from you

[tina, spoken]
i think i’d forgive you anything except not wanting me. but you’ve been away for weeks, and no word from you

[brom, spoken]
i was trying to make myself stay away so my curse wouldn’t light on you too. but it was no use. wherever i went, i kept looking for you

(sung)
i’ve been hunting through woods
i’ve been fishing over water
for one certain girl
who’s a certain father’s daughter
i’ve been following trails
i’ve been staring after ships
for a certain pair of eyes
and a certain pair of lips

yes, i looked everywhere
you can look without wings
and i found a great variety
of interesting things
but it never was you
it never was anywhere you!

an occasional sunset reminded me
or a flower growing high on a tulip tree
or one red star hung low in the west
or a heartbreak call from the meadowlark’s nest
made me think for a moment: “maybe it’s true
i’ve found her in the star, in the call, in the blue!”
but it never was you
it never was anywhere you
anywhere, anywhere you

(spoken)
couldn’t you leave your father’s house and marry me?

[tina, spoken]
my father has arranged for me to marry someone else, but let’s just hope that something will happen. and next time, don’t stay away so long, because—
(sung)
i’ve been running through rains
and the winds that follow after
for one certain face
and an unforgotten laughter

i’ve been following signs
i’ve been searching through the lands
for a certain pair of arms
and a certain pair of hands

oh, i tried a kiss here
and i tried a kiss there
for when you’re out in company
the boys and girls will pair
but it never was you
it never was anywhere you!

[brom & tina]
an occasional sunset reminded me
or a flower growing high on a tulip tree
or one red star hung low in the west
or a heartbreak call from the meadowlark’s nest
made me think for a moment: “maybe it’s true
i found her in the star, in the call, in the blue”
but it never was you
it never was anywhere you
anywhere, anywhere you
