lyrics

Sweet Face
©Mike Peters 2016

Coming back home, maybe you should have phoned
The taxi has gone, you're there all alone
You think that you're wrong,
You think that you might be mistaken

It was hard when you left, it felt like a death
What started so well died where it fell
You don't know why you're here, nothing is clear
Don't know where now

Chorus:
And I said "Darlin' I see you there with your sweet face
Standing alone with your suitcase
Tell me are you gonna stay?"

And I said "Darlin', I'm watching you there at my front gate
You look like you'll go but just please wait
Now that you're here will you stay?"

I'll leave you the key, it's easier for me
Baby you're home, I'll leave you alone
I'll call you later, I'm in no rush and we'll go slow

I don't know if you've changed, I'm not the same
The battles are won, the peace has begun
Now that you're here, I think I can see where I lost you

Chorus

Bridge:
If you whisper my name (whisper my name),
I will be here (I will be here)
If you tell me to leave (tell me to leave)
Then I'll go, yes I'll go, yes I'll go.

Chorus
Believe me darlin', nobody knows where the days went
And nobody knows how your time's spent
Everything gets in the way - these days
