WHAT SHE SAW IN ME / © 1975 Mark Hamby
From the "Left In The Wake" CD

Jody always swore she came just to save me from myself
I was always at the well, drinking to my health
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I took her hand she said OK
I never could see what she saw in me, and I still can’t see today

For three short years we flowed along on a river fast and wide
All in love, all semblance of other longings pushed aside
Nothing taken and nothing held
I put her on, she couldn’t tell
I never could see what she saw in me, And I still can’t see today

Steal away at midnight, softly close the door
Love a girl ‘til sunrise
I’d done it all before.
I’d stumble in for breakfast
Sleep away the day
Wait around for starlight
The nights are all that way

Jody always swore she’d leave if she saw me goin’ to hell
Now I hear just twice a year from the girl I loved so well
Nothin’ gambled and nothin’ lost
I put her on, it put her off
I never could see what she saw in me
And I still can’t see today.

I never could see what she saw in me, and I still can’t see today.
