Lyrics Sea Fret - David Harley

Black cat in my path today
Black news chilled me to the marrow
Black cloud standing in my way
Two birds of prey and one for sorrow
A little chaos flown from my life
Too late to hope for one last summer

A sea fret hides the harbour
A cold wind blows off the sea
You lie somewhere I'll never find you
And no-one's lying next to me
And surely these are not the places
That we were meant to be

Once you blew into my life
Like a friendly hurricane
Near misses, French kisses
Then you'd be gone again
Till later you'd drop by
And break my heart again

Sometimes I was sure I loved you
Sometimes I think that you loved me
But there was always something else
Somewhere you had to be
Always something in the way
Someone else you had to see

I always knew we'd drive each other crazy
My fevered heart still hoped someday
I'd find you waiting round the corner
For someone I hoped someday to be
Waiting by the roadside
For someone I never could quite be

Mist rolls up the mountain
A cold wind blows off the sea
There's no ledge for us to meet on
And no-one's lying next to me
And surely these are not the places
That we were meant to be
