| Lyrics: | (Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood, Rod Stewart)
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 |
