lyrics

Took a trip in your boatsong upstate
Unknowingly smitten, it's a shame it was fate
Sadly you didn't know exactly what was at stake
So this morning I'm alone once again

Oh, you gave me no warning
Though you may have tried
So this morning I'm alone once again

I wrote you letters and postcards in the old-fashioned way
But with an address left blank there wasn't much I could say
And though I tried and I sang to convince you to stay
Still this morning I'm alone once again

Oh, you gave me no warning
Though you may have tried
So this morning I'm alone once again

And though we were silent, at times it was sweet
But skin-to-skin is how I long to greet
Now the struggle is over so I doubt we'll re-meet
And this morning I'm alone once again

Oh, you gave me no warning
Though you may have tried
So this morning I'm alone once again
