Fairport Convention Lyrics of the After Halloween track

(Sandy Denny)

Red and gold and Halloween have passed us by

The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky

You are so far away and I could touch you if I may

But don't you worry now, I'm only dreaming anyway

You may be lonely, you may be just on your own

It could be anywhere, some place that I have know

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

And are they simply feelings we have learnt and do recall

Oh, the sea has made me cry

But I love her too, so maybe I love you

Tears are only made of salt and water

And across the waves the sound of laughter

October 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

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
