Sandy Denny - After Halloween lyrics

Red and goldand halloween have passed us by

The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky

You are so far awayyet I could touch you if I may

But don't you worry nowI'm only dreaming anyway.

You may be lonelyyou may be just on your own.

You could be anywheresomeplace that I have known.

But who am I and do we really live these days at all?

And are they simply feelings we have loved and do recall?

Oh the sea has made me cry

But I love hertooso maybe I love you.

For tears are only made of salt and water

And across the waves the sound of laughter.

October it has gone and left me with a song

That I will sing to you although the moment may be wrong.

Could it be the sea's as real as you and i?

I often wonder why I always have to say

I'm only dreaming anyway.

(repeat last verse)
