My lover’s just a simple girl her head is in the sand She talks in mathematics that I just don’t understand But no one ever catches her she hides behind the sun And she is not afraid of anyone
And sometimes when the nights are cold she lies so close to me I try to whisper gentle things but she says let it be Oh no one ever catches her she hides behind the sun And she is not afraid of anyone
I could have made something of my life so goodbye I could have been someone very nice how I tried But nothing mattered much to me I spent a lifetime by the sea The mountain ranges heard my song The young girls laughed and sang along They sang along they sang along
Now I don’t really understand just what you see in me I left my wife and children for a love that could not be But no one ever catches me I hide behind the sun And I am not afraid of anyone Oh I am not afraid of anyone
