swiss cottage place

i turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers

found reasons to face each new day

in a room full of mem'ries in a house built for love

on a street down in swiss cottage place

and my mind just surrenders to all i remember's come to steal every moment away

yesterday's gone and where i stand here alone it's a hollow ringin' place called today

last night i watched baby as she was boardin' a greyhound bus back to st louis

i couldn't let her know i knew why she was leavin' not after all we've been through

slippin' my coat from my shoulders i said hon it may get cold in st louis

and the look in her eyes grew suddenly sad she knew that i knew what she knew

so now my mind surrenders to all i remember's come to steal every moment away

from this room full of mem'ries from this house built for love

on the street down on swiss cottage place
