Description:
Instruments: Acoustic guitar.
A sensitive ballad; the story of love lost; a fall from grace; from sunshine to shadows.
Lyrics:
Sweet Thing
Her daddy called her Sweet Thing
All the time.
A creature of the sun
Loved by everyone
Who called her Sweet Thing.
Ohh, Sweet Thing
Something
Took her by the hand
And lead her
Trying every high
But life was passing by
For little Sweet Thing
Ohh, Sweet Thing
Next thing
The turning wheel of time
Had left her
Waiting for the sound
Of voices in a dream
Who called her Sweet Thing
Ohh, Sweet Thing
Nothing
Ever was the same again
For Sweet Thing.
Slowly dying thru the night
Waiting for the dawn
But everything has gone
For Sweet Thing
Yes everything has gone
For little Sweet Thing
Oh, she’s just a poor thing now
Ah, little Sweet Thing
She’s just a poor thing now.
