Light and Sweet

there was a sparrow sittin' all alone

outside the window talkin' on the phone

to his lawyer about a deal

with his ex wife or soon to be

she wants the kids she wants the nest

she said he never tried he said he tried his best

he just got distracted and lost his way

he's just no good is what she'd say

they say oooooh

they say anything they want

a troubled boy took a new car

was a candy apple red shooting star

he drove the valley wind in his hair

he left all his troubles way back there

he drove up the mountain just to catch a view

a steep and narrow road into the blue

he took a turn a little too late

got just what he wanted is what they'd say

man took his coffee bitter and dark

just like his spirit some would remark

then he met a strong woman and she lifted him up

you'd hardly recognize him now so full is his cup

now they're holding hands down at the the diner

across the table then he moves in beside her

waitress asks em some coffee today?

light and sweet is what they say

light and sweet is what they say
