There But For You Go I Lyrics

Tommy
 This is hard to say, but as I wandered through the lea,
 I felt for
just a fleeting moment that I suddenly was 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 heart 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.
