the return of sweet lorraine

Singer:country joe and the fish

sweet lady

won't you come beside me and make me feel all right?

sweet lady

won't you come beside me and make me feel all right?

the hours without you seem too long to bear

gray witch goddess

i suspect that you don't care

but it's simply a matter of wanting you here by me

here by me. and off into the silent night she creeps from her bed

beaming

gleaming crystal screams surrounding her in red

if she can't have your heart then she'll have your soul instead

remember her name

it's sweet lorraine

now

nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah. a million years

a trillion stars away from me

fluorescent spheres and diamond studded galaxies

swirling

spinning

soft and swift

at last our love has come to this

the silver circle returned to energy

returned to energy. i've closed the curtains

now we're all alone all by ourselves

i can see your eyes aglow

i can feel all the things you've felt

i watch you slowly turning

screaming into someone else

and i remember your name

it's sweet lorraine.
