Sweet surprise Songtext

von Eric Andersen

Hey, you with the love-light in your eyes
Come and sit beside me in my fright
Tell me what you really need now
Tell me wnat you really see in mine

We ain't fooling anyone
But tonight that's alright
Don't waste your breath explaning it
Call it what you might
Don't call it anything
Just call it Sweet Surprise

Far out in the widerness
A lonely coyote howls
For every bleeding heart still left
With the strength to still hold out
For every quarter in the jukebox
Was a dime that told a lie
For every dead horse on the mesa
There's one that still survives, surviving strong

Hey, you with the love-light in your eyes
Come and sit beside me in my fright
Tell me what you really need now
Tell me wnat you really see in mine

Way up on the border
Where the sun and sleet collide
There ain't no law or order
Just the proud survive
We ain't going anywhere
Tonight that's alright
Don't waste your breath explaning it
Call it what you might
Don't call it anything
Just call it Sweet Surprise

Hey, you with the love-light in your eyes
Come and sit beside me in my fright
Tell me what you really need now
Tell me wnat you really see in mine

Somewhere there's a holy man
Sniffing in the wind
Somewhere on a dark road
Is a guitar shivering
On the hills a dawn is breaking
Behind evenings mournful cry
For every lonesome wasted heart
Swallowed in the night, swallowed

Hey, you with the love-light in your eyes
Come and sit beside me in my fright
Tell me what you really need now
Tell me wnat you really see in mine

Call it anything you want to
Or just call it Sweet Surprise
