Say, tell me something.
Ain't you scared of me?
I ain't scared.
That your name, Julie?
Julie something? Julie Jordan.
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan.
Ain't you sorry that
you didn't run away?
You can still go if you wanna.
I reckon that I care to choose to stay.
You couldn't take my money
if I didn't have any,
and I don't have a penny, that's true.
But if I did have money,
you couldn't take any,
cause you'd ask
and I'd give it to you.
You're a queer one,
Julie Jordan.
Ain't you ever had a
fella you'd give money to?
No. Ain't you ever had a fella at all?
No.
Well, you must have had a fella
you went walking with?
Yes. Where'd you walk?
Nowhere special, I recall.
In the woods?
No. On the beach?
No. Did you love him?
No. Never loved no one. told you that.
You're a funny kid.
You want to go into town
and dance, maybe?
Oh, no.
I have to be careful.
Of what my character you see
I'm never going to marry
I'm never going to marry
if I was going to marry
I wouldn't have to be such a stickler
But I'm never going to marry
and a girl who don't marry
has got to be much more particular
Suppose I was to say to you
that I'd marry you
Oh, that scares you, don't it?
You're thinking about what that cop said.
No, I ain't.
I don't pay no mind to what he said.
But you wouldn't marry anyone like
me, would you?
Oh, yes, I would.
If I loved you,
it wouldn't make any difference,
would you?
Even if I died for it.
How do you know
what you'd do if you loved me?
Or how you'd feel or anything?
I don't know how I know. Eh.
Just the same, I know how I...
How it'd be if I loved you.
When I worked in the mill,
weaving at the loom
I'd gaze absent -minded at the roof
And half the time the shuttle
would tangle in the thread
And the warp would get mixed
with the woof if I loved you.
But you don't.
No, I don't.
But somehow I can see
just exactly how I'd be
if I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
all I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
words wouldn't come in an easy way.
Round in circles I'd go
Longing to tell you, but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances
pass me by
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go
in the mis t of day
Never, never will I
I loved you
If I love you.
Well, anyway, you don't
love me.
That's what you said, wasn't it?
Yes. I can smell them.
Can you? What?
The blossoms,
the wind brings them down.
Ain't much wind tonight, hardly any.
You can't hear a sound,
not the turn of a leaf,
Nor the fall of a wave
hittin' the sand.
The tides creepin' up on the
beach like a thief,
Afraid to be caught stealin' the land.
On a night like this
I start to wonder what life is
all about and I always say
two heads are better than one to figure it out
I don't need you or anyone to help me
I got it figured out for myself
we ain't important
what are we
a couple of specks of nothing
look up there
there's a hell of a lot of stars in the sky
And the sky so big the sea looks small
And two little people, you and I
We don't count at all
You're a funny kid
Don't ever remember meet another girl like you.
You! Are you trying to get me to marry you?
Oh, no.
Well, then what's put it into my head?
Eh, you're different, all right.
Can't think what it is.
You look up at me with that little kid face.
Like you trusted me.
I wonder what it'd be like.
What? Nothing.
I know what it'd be like.
It'd be awful.
I can just see myself
Kinda scrawny and pale
Picking at my food
And lovesick like any other guy
I'd throw away my sweater
And dress up like a dude
In a dickie and a collar and a tie
If I loved you
But you don't.
No, I don't.
But somehow I can see
just exactly how I'd be
if I loved you.
Time and again,
I would try to say all I'd want you to know, if I loved you,
words wouldn't come in an easy way.
Round in circles I'd go
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me,
off you would go in the mist of day, never, never to know,
how I loved you, if I
loved you.
