Sweet Child

Lyrics

You've been workin' so hard all day Won't you take your rest? You've been drivin' my blues away Now, it is my turn Come fly beneath my wings Sweet child, it may not be for long Well, I may be a-drinkin' hard Like a fish that swims And I could be ridin' high Like a floatin' cloud And if the rain does fall Sweet child, I would not let you drown Well, I would not care to see Unstrippin' your eyes I would not care to know Where your heart does lie I've tried to trust my heart But my eyes are failin' me Sweet child, come to me now Let me take your hand Well, I do not know you well Yet, I've tried so hard Through four and twenty years Sweet child, I still don't understand Well, I've heard there are brave men Who could save our souls With kind and gentle hearts And love is their gold I'd really want to know Sweet child, who could shoot them down? And I've a-thought about a man Who does end his life Who sheds his tears upon Every mortal soul And I wonder does he yearn Sweet child, for death to come for him And I once did see a child She did sit and cry Where has the pretty flower In the darkness gone? In the summer you shall see Sweet child, I guess it won't be long Won't you lay yourself down and rest? Let your mind relax Won't you cuddle into the night? I will guide your path Well, I may not be here long 'Cause I got a feelin' to be gone
