Swing Me

swing me round
wanna get down
sorrows drowned
last night I saw it bright
a night light
was a dream you might like
[was a dream I kinda liked]
he’s a flash in the pan
you understand
he can’t be yer man
ta da today
fa la la la
hey hey
heading back to the stormy sea
you missing me
don’t ya follow me
cuz baby I’m
a flash in the pan
this you’ll understand
ain’t gonna be yer man
it was a b.s. charge -
somethin bout stealin a car
drove it hard and far
brought it back
tossed him the keys
thought that was that
three boys in blue
took him to the mat
and that was that
judge took one look at me
cleared his throat and said
release that man
he’s a flash in the pan
the court understands
you ain’t our man

I bought me a smile and a slice
was real nice
took a long slow walk
with the Lord I talked
had a lot to say
was kinda one-way
til Love spun me right round
in the silence I found
the silent sound is a two-way street
so I walked on
a warm kinda feelin -
you’re ok son
no matter what - you’re ok
you always have been
you always are
you always will be
you ain’t no flash in the pan
now you understand
the Love of God and man
now you understand
the Love of God and man
now you understand...

[the Lord had a lot to say that day…]
