Sweet Old World

(album: Honeysuckle Switches: The Songs Of Lucinda Williams - 2023)

See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world

The breath from your own lips
The touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train
Wearing someone's ring
Someone calling your name

Somebody so warm
Cradled in your arms
Didn't you think you were worth anything

See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world

Millions of us in love
Promises made good
Your own
Flesh
And blood
Looking for some truth
Dancing with no shoes
The beat
The rhythm
The blues

The pounding of your heart's drum
Together with another one
Didn't you think anyone loved you

See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world

See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
