JEFF BUCKLEY LYRICS - Sweet Thing

"Sweet Thing"



And i will stroll the merry way

And jump the hedges first

And i will drink the clear

Clean water for to quench my thirst

And i shall watch the ferry-boats

And they'll get high

On a bluer ocean

Against tomorrow's sky



And i will never NEVER grow so old again

And WE will walk and talk

In gardens wet with rain

OH OH SWEET THING SWEET THING

MY, MY, MY, MY, MY SWEET THING

AND I SHALL DRIVE MY CHARIOT DOWN YOUR STREETS AND CRY

Hey, it's me, i'm dynamite

And i don't know why

HEY YOU SO STRONG YOU HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN

AND I REMEMBER THAT I FELT SO OLD

AND I WILL NEVER NEVER GROW SO OLD AGAIN



We shall walk and talk

In gardens all misty and wet with rain

My, my, my, my, my sweet thing



And i will GO OUT TONITE

Into the MIDnight time sky

And count the stars

That's shining in your eye

And i'll be satisfied

NOT TO KNOW THE REASON WHY

In gardens all wet with rain



And i will never, Never, Never, ever

Grow so old again.

Oh sweet thing, sweet thing

Sugar baby with your champagne eyes

And your saint-like smile...
