"It Never Was You" lyrics

I've been hunting through the woods
I've been fishing over water
For one certain girl
Who's a certain father's daughter

I've been following trails
I've been staring after ships
For a certain pair of eyes
And a certain pair lips

Yes, I've looked everywhere
You can look without wings
And I've found a great variety
Of interesting things

But it never was you
It never was anywhere you
An occasional sunset reminded me
Or a flower hanging high on a tulip tree
Or one red star hung low in the west
Or a heart-break call from a meadowlark's nest
Made me think for a moment
Maybe it's true
I found her in the star
In the call, in the blue
But it never was you
It never was anywhere you
It never was anywhere you
