Lyrics of I saw you today (1980)

(from the album private parts and pieces ii: back to the pavillion)
I saw you today
And through the distant years
It all came back.
Two people young and sheltered
So unwary of the snares
But we now know where
And now a woman that's still brown
And very beautiful
You haven't changed
She took your place
Ohh what a face
Didn't think i needed you
But i was wrong
She came and she went out
Upon a voyage at sea
She's never coming back
But now you both are gone at sea
So long ago
I was a happy man
I saw you today
It didn't seem as if you're coming back
I saw myself today
It didn't seem as if i'm coming back
And low upon the hills
I see a shadow pass to the other side
We must accept these things
Oh how i love you (i saw you today)
Oh how i love you (i saw you today)
Oh how i love you (i saw you today)
Oh how i love you (oh how i love you)
