One Sweet Reason

(album: Lord Mr. Ford - 1973)

I have spent my time in going never caring never knowing
Just what it was I might be going to
And I'd planned on leaving you the same just up and go the way I came
But you may have noticed I'm still here with you

Yes there's one sweet reason
Why you're yet to see me leaving
Just one thing between here and gone
And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow
Any number of a hundred things would send me down that road
But there's one sweet reason I don't go

I've run from ties I've cut my strings
I've unlocked doors I've broken chains
Fading like a shadow in the dawn
When other loves have turned to clay
I've turned my back and walked away
And you should be the next to find me gone

Yes there's one sweet reason why you're yet to see me leaving...

Now I find no need in going
From the sweet love I've been knowing
To the restless ways and days that I once knew
For more and more I've looked to find
When leaving creeps across my mind
It's lost in all the days I've spent with you

Yes there's one sweet reason why you're yet to see me leaving...
You're the one sweet reason I don't go
