After Halloween Lyrics - Singles - Sandy Denny

Red and gold, and Halloween have passed us by, 

The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky, 

You are so far away, yet 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. 

You could be anywhere, someplace that I have known. 

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

And are they simply feelings we have loved and do recall? 

Oh the sea has made me cry, 

But I love her, too, so maybe I love you. 

For tears are only made of salt and water, 

And across the waves the sound of laughter. 

October it 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.
