Album One
4. Stop, Look, Listen and Think (5:11) **
Written on the Isle of Scilly ferry in 1974 about the very special girl after our sad break up. The inspiration was an emergency warning sign! I’ve still got the brown paper bag which I wrote it on!

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN AND THINK
I’d never thought that you’d be leaving me
But when I saw you kiss him,
I could take no more, you give me no choice.
So, I have to cast you far, as far as you will let me,
And as the night is dying so my love has left.
Now, I don’t think I can live; I cannot live without you
Go your way again and live your life alone.
All that I thought I wanted , all that I thought I had,
All that I’ll ever want is you, just you.
So I said:
Stop, look, listen and think (oh I’m telling you)
Stop, look, listen and think (oh my lover)
Stop, look, listen and think:
I’m leaving you now.
Why, why did you have to go?
You said you’d never leave me,
Now I am alone with memories of you.
Will, oh will he ever know
The heartbreak that you caused me?
The way you smiled when I, I had to say goodbye?
Now, I walk out of your life please never think about me
But just remember love the love I gave to you.
All that I thought I wanted ....
