I can't take orders.
No matter how hard I try,
I simply cannot take orders from anybody.
But why?
I know you say this is ridiculous,
but I think maybe it was something I ate.
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.
No, Tina.
I've been utterly miserable
away from you. No. I think I'd forgive
you any thing
except not wanting me.
But you've been
away for weeks
and no word from you.
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.
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 wheels.
And I found a great variety
of interesting thing s,
but it never was you,
it never was anywhere you
an occasional sunset re
minded me
or a flower growing high on a tulip tree
or one red star
on the low in the west
or a heart break off from
the meadowlark's nest
Made me think for a mo ment
Maybe it's true
I found her in the star
In the cold, in the blue
But it never was you
It never was anywhere you,
anywhere,
anywhere you.
Couldn't you leave
your father's house
and marry me?
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
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 eyes
And a certain pair of hands
Oh, I tried a kiss here
An d I try to kiss them
For when you're out in company
The boys and girls will pair
But it never was you
It never was any of you
An occasional sunset
reminding me of a flower glowing
high on a tulip tree.
A one red star, a glow in the west,
or a heartbreak call from the meadow
lark's nest
Made me think for a moment,
may be it's true
I found her in the star,
in the call, in the blue
But it never was you
He never was
anywhere near you,
anywhere, anywhere near you.
Thank you for watching!
