Sweet Lady Mary has to rest her poor head
|
Wakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed
|
I tried to help her but I did not know how
|
I tried to love her but it's all over now
|
|
Nothing left to comfort me
|
Except a sunny day
|
Steal away
|
Steal away
|
|
Over the stones along the dusty old road
|
With every footstep one more tale is told
|
With every turning one more side to see
|
Sweet Lady Mary's seen the last of me
|
|
A lesson is learnt
|
I'll never come this way again
|
I'll steal away
|
Steal away
|
|
Her Spanish habits are so hard to forget
|
The lady lied with every breath, I accept
|
Was a matter of time before my face did not fit
|
I knew all along I'd have to quit.
|
|
Anyway now, I better not
|
Waste anymore of your time
|
I'll steal away
|
Steal away
|
|
I think I'll go back home and start all again
|
Where the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease the pain
|
And on a new day when I've mended the wound
|
Sweet Lady Mary's gate I swear I'll be bound
|
|
But before I sit down again
|
And waste anymore of your time
|
I better steal away
|
Steal away
|
