Wherever You Go
Me & Mr. Cassidy Lyrics

This is hard to say, but as I wandered through the lea
It's difficult for me to express, but as I was walking through the meadow

I felt for just a fleeting moment that I was suddenly free of being lonely;
I experienced a brief feeling of being free from loneliness;

Then I closed my eyes and saw the very reason why.
I closed my eyes and realized the reason behind that feeling;

I saw a man with his head bowed low
I saw a man who looked sad and defeated

His heard had no place to go,
He seemed lost and alone with nowhere to turn to

I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh:
I observed him and thought with a heavy heart:

There but for you go I.
That could have been me if not for you.

I saw a man walking by the sea
I saw another man walking by the sea

Alone with the tide was he,
He was isolated amongst the sea tide

I looked and I thought as I watched him go by:
As I observed him passing by, I reflected:

There but for you go I.
I could be in his position if not for you.

Lonely men around me trying not to cry;
I was surrounded by solitary men struggling to hold back their tears;

Till the day you found me, there among them was I.
But when you arrived in my life, I was among those lonely men too.

I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own.
I saw a man who had never experienced a love that belonged solely to him.

I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky:
I reflected and expressed gratitude towards the universe:

There but for you go I.
Without you, I could have been that man without love.

I saw a man with his head bowed low
Once again I encountered a man with his head down

His heard had no place to go,
He seemed lost and without direction

I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh:
As I observed him, I thought heavily to myself:

There but for you go I.
I could have been in his situation without you.

I saw a man walking by the sea
Again, I saw a man walking by the sea.

Alone with the tide was he,
He was solitary among the waves.

I looked and I thought as I watched him go by:
As he walked by, I pondered:

There but for you go I.
If it wasn't for you, I could be walking alone by the sea.

Lonely men around me trying not to cry;
Once again, I was surrounded by men trying not to break down in tears;

Till the day you found me, there among them was I.
But then you came into my life and there I was among those lonely men too.

I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own.
I observed a man who had never experienced love that was solely for him.

I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky:
As I expressed gratitude to the universe, I thought:

There but for you go I.
Without you, I could have been that man without his own love.
