It Never Was You

Lyrics

[BROM, spoken] I can't take orders No matter how hard I try, I simply cannot take orders from anybody [TINA, spoken] But why? [BROM, spoken] I know you'll say this is ridiculous, but I think maybe it was something I ate [TINA, spoken] Don't be silly Of course, I can see that if you can't take orders Then you can't work for my father And then you won't see so much of me And there's probably someone else, and— [BROM, spoken] No, no, Tina I've been utterly miserable away from you [TINA, spoken] I think I'd forgive you anything except not wanting me But you've been away for weeks, and no word from you [BROM, spoken] I was trying to make myself stay away so my curse wouldn't light on you too But it was no use Wherever I went, I kept looking for you [BROM] I've been hunting through woods I've been fishing over water For one certain girl Who's a certain father's daughter I've been following trails I've been staring after ships For a certain pair of eyes And a certain pair of lips Yes, I looked everywhere You can look without wings And I found a great variety Of interesting things But it never was you It never was anywhere you! An occasional sunset reminded me Or a flower growing high on a tulip tree Or one red star hung low in the west Or a heartbreak call from the meadowlark's nest Made me think for a moment: "Maybe it's true I've found her in the star, in the call, in the blue!" But it never was you It never was anywhere you Anywhere, anywhere you [BROM, spoken] Couldn't you leave your father's house and marry me? [TINA, spoken] My father has arranged for me to marry someone else But let's just hope that something will happen And next time, don't stay away so long, because— [TINA] I've been running through rains And the winds that follow after For one certain face And an unforgotten laughter I've been following signs I've been searching through the lands For a certain pair of arms And a certain pair of hands Oh, I tried a kiss here And I tried a kiss there For when you're out in company The boys and girls will pair But it never was you It never was anywhere you! [BROM & TINA] An occasional sunset reminded me Or a flower growing high on a tulip tree Or one red star hung low in the west Or a heartbreak call from the meadowlark's nest Made me think for a moment: "Maybe it's true I found her in the star, in the call, in the blue" But it never was you It never was anywhere you Anywhere, anywhere you
