Swiss Cottage Place Lyrics - Roger Miller

I turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers 

Found reasons to face each new day 

In a room full of memories, in a house built for love 

On a street down in Swiss Cottage Place 

And my mind just surrenders 

To all I remember's come to steal every moment away 

Yesterday's gone and where I stand here alone 

It's a hollow ringin' place called today 

Last night I watched baby as she was boardin' 

A Greyhound bus back to St Louis 

I couldn't let her know I knew why she was leavin' 

Not after all we've been through 

Slippin' my coat from my shoulders I said 

"Honey, it may get cold in St Louis" 

And the look in her eyes grew suddenly sad 

She knew that I knew what she knew
