 ROGER MILLER - Swiss Cottage Place Lyrics

I turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers
Found reasons to face each new day
In a room full of memories in a house built for love
On a street down in Swiss Cottage Place

My mind just surrenders to all I remember
come to steal every moment away
Yesterday's gone and where I stand here alone
it's a hollow ringing place called today
Last night I watched baby as she was boardin'
a greyhound bus back to St Louis

And 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
l13k22412r231924 kk18h
she knew that I knew what she knew

So now my mind surrenders to all I remember
come to steal every moment away
From this room full of memories from this house built for love
On the street down on Swiss Cottage Place
