Old Lost John: Music

SWIFT LIKE A DAGGER

(Old Lost John / Thunberg)
SWIFT LIKE A DAGGER

You're smiling with a new face
I don't think I've ever seen
And your hand upon my shoulder
And you're looking so serene

It kinda makes me stagger
'Cause your touch
Is swift like a dagger

I've seen your face so full of sorrow
I've seen your face so full of tears
But I ain't seen you face tomorrow
This way for many years

I'd say you're doing better
Ah, you're even doing fine
It's really good to see you
Good to see you in your prime

You're speaking with a new voice
I don't think I've heard before
And your hand upon my shoulder
Then you're leaving for the door
