Not The One
Lyricist:Al Stewart
It's the kind of gray November day that washes Away reflections in the eyes of hotel porters And the latticed wooden benches by the sea Contain no travelers or Irish lady authors
And the girl in the raincoat walks the lanes Of Brighton with her collar turned against the wind And hovers in the doorways of second-hand Bookshops among the dust and fading print
And you're not the one she's thinkin' of And you're not the one she really wants Just a point along the line she's leavin' from
She goes into a cafe, orders tea, looks At the menu but there's nothing really on it And the place is as deserted as a plaza In a heat-wave and the cloth has jam upon it
But the girl in the raincoat doesn't stop to count The tea-leaves or turn to see the mists around the sun Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com For the winter's unfolding around her And it's time for movin' on
And you're not the one she's thinkin' of And you're not the one she really wants Just a point along the line she's leavin' from
And so you sit there in the middle of The carpet with her suitcases around you And it comes to you, she journeyed to the center Of your life but she never really found you
Just another girl in a raincoat who Shared the passing of the days And you're glad of the warmth that she Gave you and you hardly need to say
That she's not the one you're thinkin' of No, she's not the one you really want Just a point along the line you're leavin' from
