"My Girl" lyrics - FAIRPORT CONVENTION

FAIRPORT CONVENTION
"My Girl"

Theres been times in my past when the bad times have shone through
And l couldn't hide how hard it was to live not knowing you
And l still believe that long ago in some forgotten pain
I swore to close the door on loving anyone again

[Chorus:]
With a way of her own is shaking me
With a way of her own is taking me

I was happy when l woke to find you sleeping without care
And l gently took my fingers and l brushed away your hair
The day began in silver dawning on your brow
And l shook hands with the morning for letting me love you now

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Come up with the wind of what is done begins to blow
Run off every time you feel the need to see me show we go together

[Instrumental break]

The walks to where the sun is and the standing in the cold
Brown leaves in the autumn and always you to hold
I could watch your ways forever and speak my mind begins
Happy in your happiness and tearful in your tears

[Chorus]

[Ending:]
With a way of her own is shaking me
Can't you see that I'm different she's waking me.
