Lyrics

?SWEEPING CHANGE?
(Stew Hooey)

She had hair that was sanctity,
And just a hint of sweet perfume-
Then and there, as she sang to me,
And lead me softly to her room-

There?d been a sweeping change in our lives-
There?d been a sweeping change in our lives

My old man, he laid into me-
He said ?now son that tramp won?t do?
I said ?dad, you listen to me?-
And as the poison words just flew-

There?d been a sweeping change in our lives-
There?d been a sweeping change in our lives

Just eighteen and so naive- I guess we mighta known-
That we?d be shunned by the cold and heartless-
?Cuz she was as black as I was white-
It was hard- but how I loved her?.

She had hair that was sanctity,
And just a hint of sweet perfume-
Then and there, as she sang to me,
And lead me softly to her room-

There?d been a sweeping change in our lives-
There?d been a sweeping change in our lives?
A sweeping change?
