John Martyn - Sandy Grey lyrics
[John Martyn - Sandy Grey lyrics]
Oh Sandy Grey, are you going away?
Leave me a message before parting
Time has changed you and the
Things that pain you
Are the things you think
Of as you're starting
Oh Sandy Grey, it's only this I'll pray:
That you might stay here one
More day in laughter
Won't you hang around and hold me
Repeat all the lies you told me?
- Do your rambling after
Oh Sandy Grey
Whatever made you want to stay?
And now what makes you want to be a leaving?
Is it the same thing they found
When they laid your father down
Or are your reasons even worth retrieving?
Oh Sandy Grey, don't leave me just today
Don't think on the road you'll be a-going
Think of all the time and the
Days we've had to mind
Of the future, there's no way of knowing
Oh Sandy Grey, I thought I heard you say
That you ain't heard one word
That I've been speaking
There's no use in trying you
Escaping from my mind
And I'll never see the world you're seeking
Oh Sandy Grey, are you going away?
Leave me a message before parting
Time has changed you and the
Things that pain you
Are the things you think
Of as you're starting
Leave me a message before parting
Time has changed you and the
Things that pain you
Are the things you think
Of as you're starting
Oh Sandy Grey, it's only this I'll pray:
That you might stay here one
More day in laughter
Won't you hang around and hold me
Repeat all the lies you told me?
- Do your rambling after
Oh Sandy Grey
Whatever made you want to stay?
And now what makes you want to be a leaving?
Is it the same thing they found
When they laid your father down
Or are your reasons even worth retrieving?
Oh Sandy Grey, don't leave me just today
Don't think on the road you'll be a-going
Think of all the time and the
Days we've had to mind
Of the future, there's no way of knowing
Oh Sandy Grey, I thought I heard you say
That you ain't heard one word
That I've been speaking
There's no use in trying you
Escaping from my mind
And I'll never see the world you're seeking
Oh Sandy Grey, are you going away?
Leave me a message before parting
Time has changed you and the
Things that pain you
Are the things you think
Of as you're starting
