Sweet Lady Mary Lyrics by The Faces

Sweet Lady Mary Lyrics


    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
