I Never Lied To You

(album: Barrett - 1970)

There will be shoulders pressing in the hall
and I won't know if you're here at all
there will be wine and drinking in the yard
There won't be anybody very hard
There will be lots of things that we can do

And all and more will be for you
Everything I knew I tried with you
But everything to you was never easy
So I went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
To see you looking too
But I know this, I know, I never lied to you

It's been just like you're gone
For just one day for so long
It's been so hard to bear with you not there
But though I think of you, the things you do
When I'm with you

To be with you, to be alone...can only think
"Why I am here? What's meant to be?"
