Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"The Royal Mile (Sweet Darlin')" lyrics


I remember the sound of the passing trainAs it rolled through the night in the pouring rainAnd the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.
And we walked in the sun down the royal mileSaw the light in her eye and the way she smiledAnd she cried in the night and I heard her say 'Don't go'.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go awayLooking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stayWhat can I do, sweet darlin'?
In the light of the day I was rolling homeI was thinking of you waiting on your ownAnd I wanted to call but then something said 'Oh no'.
Yeah but now it's a dream, it's a memoryBut I'll never forget what you gave to meI was lost and alone but you made me feel ok.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go awayLooking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stayWhat can I do, sweet darlin'?
I remember the sound of the passing trainAs it rolled through the night in the pouring rainAnd the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go awayLooking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stayWhat can I do, sweet darlin'?
