New Tune

Song byJames Taylor

in AlbumOne Man Dog

Its written in the surface of her skin

There's been a baby within

Given away in love

I see it in the little lines

Around her eyes, across her brow

She'll be driftin' away from me now

See the shape of feeling that's not quite there

Inside her soul

Love has gone away now, leaving behind an empty hole

Who am I to try to compete

With again, as the silence so easily rushes in

I will fly away

It was something I only dreamed of

Something that I'm not quite sure of

Something that I'll never tell you about
