Blair Dunlop Sweet On You
It's been seven years since I last saw you
And I wish it were seven more
Knew you for two, and by the end of the first
Well, the writing was on the wall
I saw a change when you started giving time
To the girl I gave my heart to
Never confessed it at the time
But to tell you the truth, I was sweet on you
Sweet on you, I was sweet on you
Lord knows I was sweet on you
Never confessed it at the time
But to tell you the truth, I was sweet on you
Now, to take each person in isolation
Is to take the [?]
Let loose together, you bred stormy weather
Though you'd laugh to try and pull the wool
Why do you feed each other's darkness?
Why do you drink to hide the blues?
In the night I think you're trouble
In the day I'm sweet on you
Sweet on you, I was sweet on you
Lord knows I was sweet on you
In the night I think you're trouble
In the day I'm sweet on you
We'd stay out all night dancing
To songs we didn't even know
We didn't like them either
Didn't care in the neon glow
But I was dreaming on the morning
I was waitin' on the sunrise
Because in each other's presence
You become hard to recognise
In each other's presence
You become hard to recognise
Oh, your mother always treated me kindly
She carried a sparkle in her eyes
Yours were the same, but I hear now
They just tell of the stormy skies
Oh, and I wonder if she finds peace now?
Whether you still put the colour in her cheeks?
Whether you moved home? I'll bet you didn't
Whatever the weather be like in the peaks
We'd gather 'round the kitchen table
Ry Cooder on the stereo
We'd sing along if we were able
Little Sister, [?]
But you never once sang with us
You'd just retire to your room
Oh, and if you don't like Ry Cooder
How could I ever be sweet on you?
If you don't like Ry Cooder
How could I ever be sweet on you?
Sweet on you, I was sweet on you
Lord knows I was sweet on you
You didn't like the Cuban rhythm
You never liked words that told the truth
Shame on you, shame on you
With your [?] and your tabloid news
If I had a choice between you and your mother
I know which one I'd choose
Oh, if I had a choice between you and your mother
I know which one I'd choose
