royal mile sweet darlin

Gerry Rafferty

I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said Goodbye .

And we walked in the sun down the royal mile
Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled
And 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 away
Looking at you sweet darlin , I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin ?

In the light of the day I was rolling home
I was thinking of you waiting on your own
And I wanted to call but then something said Oh no .

Yeah but now it s a dream, it s a memory
But I ll never forget what you gave to me
I was lost and alone but you made feel ok.

What can I do, sweet darlin , I don t want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin , I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin ?

I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said Goodbye .

What can I do, sweet darlin , I don t want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin , I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin ?
