And you're far too far away
And it's been years since we spoke
But I wonder if you think
Of you and I, can only hope
With a new man in your head
And a new home for your heart
Our romance is long dead
But a friend is what I lost
And take me back to St. Ives
Where we both lived different lives
Kept warm in winter nights
Harps played by candlelight
I made a fool of myself
Making a fool out of you
Through all the times you wept
You thought that you were being used
I tried to learn my lesson
Not to read between the lines
But through all the mild affection
Please know that the fault was mine
And take me back to St. Ives
Where we both lived different lives
Kept warm in winter nights
Harps played by candlelight
And if we saw each other now
Would we pick up where we left
Or would you glance the other way?
A simple sign we must forget
'Cause you're far too far away
And it's been years since we spoke
But I wonder if you think
Of you and I, can only hope
You'll take me back to St. Ives
Where we both lived different lives
Kept warm in winter nights
Harps played by candlelight
