Sweet Lady Mary has to rest her forehead
Wakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed
I tried to help her but I did not know how
I tried to love her but it's all over now
Nothing left to comfort me
except a sunny day
Steal away,
steal away
Over the stones, along the dusty old road
With every footstep one more tale is told
With every turn and one more sight to see
We Lady Mary's seen the last of me
A lesson is learnt,
I'll never come this way again
I'll steal away,
steal away
Her
Spanish habits are so hard to forget
The lady lied with every breath I exhaled
Was a matter of time before my face did not fit
I knew all along
I'd have to quit
Anyway now,
I better not waste any more of your time I'll steal away,
steal away
I
think I'll go back home and start all again
Where the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease
the pain
And on a new day when I've mended the wound
Sweet Lady
Mary's gate I swear
I'll be bound But before I sit down again and waste any
more of your time I better steal away,
steal away
