Book Song

Fairport Convention

If she knew what I've seen while I'm watching

Would she know where to smile, what to say?

When she leaves from her book to be with me

Where's her mind as she stands while I play?



She left behind names in the pages

And the time she took out, they stayed in

Now she thinks that she maybe should tell them

Of my book and the places she's been



Now she's looking at me while I'm writing

Does she know where to smile, what to say?

When she leaves from her book to be with me

What's she thinking about while I play?
