I Wasn't There At All - David Knopfler

I wasn’t there behind you

Where the wind blows cold

Wasn’t there to comfort you at all

I wasn’t there last winter

When the whole lake froze

Wasn’t there in Spring

To see it thaw

I wasn’t there in Summer

When the farm went broke

Wasn’t there to help you with it all

When I heard you’d lost your child

You know my blood ran cold

I wasn’t there

I wasn’t there at all

In the night there are stars

And they’re shinin' up above

And as sure as there are stars

I’m sure we were in love

Sure we were in love

I wasn’t there in Summer

When the farm went broke

Wasn’t there to help you with it all

When I heard you’d lost your child

You know my blood ran cold

I wasn’t there

I wasn’t there at all

I wasn’t there in Summer

When the farm went broke

Wasn’t there to help you with it all

When I heard you’d lost your child

You know my blood ran cold

I wasn’t there

I wasn’t there at all

In the night there are stars

And they’re shinin' up above

And as sure as there are stars

I’m sure we were in love

Sure we were in love

For some there are excuses

For others there are none

I know guilt is useless

For those things I left undone

I didn’t see you crying

All those times I didn’t call

I wasn’t there beside you in the Fall

No I wasn’t there at all

In the night there are stars

And they’re shinin' up above

And as sure as there are stars

I am sure that we’re in love

For sure we are in love
