Al Stewart Told You So
In the courtyard of the moon
I was waiting with your slippers
Wanna hold your red balloon
Wanna ride on your Big Dipper
In a dark blue conversation all was lost and then found again
I could see the animation on your face when you said
I told you so.
Oh, I told you so
I told you so
I told you so, and God knows how I tried.
Underneath the stolen star
There was not much use pretending
So I gave you my guitar
Hoped you had a happy ending
Later in the railway station trains went by and I thought of you
You were like a lost relation coming into view to say
I told you so.
Look I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you so, but God knows how I tried.
(Wonderful guitar lead)
In a deep blue conversation all was lost and then found again
I was in the railway station thinking of you when you said
I told you so
Oh, I told you so
I told you so
I told you so, God knows how I tried.
No complaints at all.
