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
