Where Love And Living Meet
Play MP3
She’s so quiet and so shy – she’s not confident at all
She thinks she’s got a secret but it’s known to one and all
And she hides herself away behind her books in sheer pain
For there’s no-one in this world can understand her or explain
She’s timid, she is beautiful, she could be bitter-sweet
And I wonder if she’ll ever find where love and living meet
She is silent and serene as the one she likes goes by
But she’ll never give a sign for it’s improper and she’s shy
So she carries on in agony and prunes the seed of love
Which itself will disappear just like the dream she’s dreaming of
Refrain
Some say she’s enigmatic, and she sometimes thinks so too
And she often likes to be alone and plan what she might do
For someone who’s firm and steady, who’ll do nothing out of hand
Who’ll lead the world in this and that and really understand
She’s the picture of a million, she’s the heartache of a few
For she’s stifled all her sex appeal and all her passion too
She’s the one you’ll find with other girls less glamorous than her
The boys – they date the other girls, not her – they wouldn’t dare
Refrain
She is never seen to get annoyed in public, or upset
And, though she wants to find what moves her, she hasn’t found it yet
She will smile but not reveal just what she feels or what she thinks
It’s a smile that you can also see in pictures of the Sphinx
Will she ever break the stranglehold her pride has got her in
Will she always think to love a man in practice is a sin
Is the act of love the final test she can’t yet undergo
Is she frightened she will not receive the joy she wants to know?
She’s timid, she is beautiful, she could be bitter-sweet
And I wonder if she’ll ever find where love and living meet
Yes I wonder if she’ll ever find where love and living meet
