Lyrics
The dawn is breaking darling, i'm going to have to move on through. I'm having no regrets about, I'm talking about me and you. As I head back to Memphis, to that mess I know I'll find. I'll summon my conviction, try to forget what I'm leaving behind. Your sweet embrace will be with me. It's the sweetest thing I've known. Otherwise I'm going. Going down that road alone. Thanks for taking time to see me, I know i'm a flash in a pan. But I can't forget your flavor, honey. It's like the essence of sweetness in my hand. Don't want to see below the surface, I don't care to know who I am. Cannot fault you, what I'm given. I'm just a puppet, a grain of sand. Your sweet embrace will be with me. It's the sweetest thing i've known. Otherwise I'm going. Going down that road alone. I've lost all my perspective, lost my pleasure in the simple things. The sweet dew in the morning, the smell of grass after a rain. Sunsets leave me hanging, sometimes hanging by a thread. It's thoughts of you that keep me going. Like thunder rolling through my head, your sweet embrace will be with me. It's the sweetest thing I've known. Otherwise I'm going. Going down that road alone. Otherwise, I'm going. Going down that road alone.
