Faces

Sweet Lady Mary has to rest her poor headWakes in the
morning with her breakfast in bedI tried to help her
but I did not know howI tried to love her but it's
all over nowNothing left to comfort me,
except a sunny daySteal away,
steal awayOver the stones along the dusty old roadWith
every footstep one more tale is toldWith every turning
one more side to seeSweet Lady Mary's seen the last
of meA lesson is learnt, I'll never come this way againI'll
steal away, steal awayHer Spanish habits are so hard
to forgetThe Lady lied with every breath I acceptWas
a matter of time before my face did not fitI knew all
along I'd have to quitAnyway now,
I better not waste anymore of your timeI'll steal away,
steal awayI think I'll go back home and start all againWhere
the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease the painAnd on
a new day when I've mended the woundSweet Lady Mary's
gate, I swear I'll be boundBut before I sit down again
and waste anymore of your timeI better steal away, steal awayI steal away
