Faces - Sweet Lady Mary Lyrics
(ronnie lane, ron wood, rod stewart)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 its all over nowNothing left to comfort meExcept a sunny daySteal awaySteal awayOver the stones along the dusty old roadWith every footstep one more tale is toldWith every turning one more side to seeSweet lady marys seen the last of meA lesson is learntIll never come this way againIll steal awaySteal 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 Id have to quit.Anyway now, I better notWaste anymore of your timeIll steal awaySteal awayI think Ill go back home and start all againWhere the gulf stream waters tend to ease the painAnd on a new day when Ive mended the woundSweet lady marys gate I swear Ill be boundBut before I sit down againAnd waste anymore of your timeI better steal awaySteal away
