There But For You Go I

This is hard to say, but as I wandered through the lea I felt for just a fleeting moment that I was suddenly free of being lonely; Then I closed my eyes and saw the very reason why. I saw a man with his head bowed low His heard had no place to go, I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh: There but for you go I. I saw a man walking by the sea Alone with the tide was he, I looked and I thought as I watched him go by: There but for you go I. Lonely men around me trying not to cry; Till the day you found me, there among them was I. I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own. I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky: There but for you go I. I saw a man with his head bowed low His heard had no place to go, I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh: There but for you go I.
