Sweet Lady Mary Lyrics - 1970-1975: You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything... - Faces

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
