Plain Sailing Lyrics - Solo: Songs And Collaborations 1982-2015 - Tracey Thorn

Meetings arranged, they say, never work out 

I say we've proved them wrong without a doubt 

I can't remember now just what we said 

I never could have guessed what lay ahead 

As I ran towards you up the stairs 

Did a voice in my ear cry Beware? 

Even now I'm surprised you recall 

Such a short time it took me to fall 

Pretending that my heart still lay elsewhere 

When in truth I had long ceased to care 

For what I thought I'd never replace 

'Til in my heart you left him no space 

You say, you wonder what was it I saw? 

I say Oh, I don't recall anymore' 

My first impressions have been left behind 

Replaced now by feelings and more lost in kind 

Sure that you know but you never can tell 

When I think I understand you so well 

Shakes me that you were a constant surprise 

Or so you appear in my eyes

Tempting to think now it will all be plain sailing 

Old enough now to know there's no such thing.
