One for the Road - John Martyn

If you know, if you know

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Well if you know a lover’s will tell me if you can

Thought it was a woman and I thought it was a man

One for the road

One for the river flowing

Or is it one for the four strong winds

That keep on blowing me away

I met her on a fair day

Her face was full of smiles

She helped me over ditches

And she helped me over styles

One for the road

One for the river flowing

Or is it one for the four strong winds

That keep on blowing me away

Sweet, sweet, sweet smile

Sweet, sweet smile

Sweet smile

The circle of your smile

One date I’m by the seaside

I decided to despair

I knew that I could never decide to leave my darling there

One for the road

One for the river flowing

Or is it one for the four strong winds that keep on blowing me away

I don’t believe I’ll ever change

It isn’t in my style

I only want to live within the circle of your smile

One for the road

One for the river flowing

Or is it one for the four strong winds that keep on blowing me away

Sweet, sweet, sweet smile

Sweet, sweet smile

Sweet smile

The circle of your smile

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Is it one for the road

One for the river flowing

Or is it one for the four strong winds that keep on blowing me away

Blowing me away

Please let me live everyday within the circle of your smile

Your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet smile

Sweet, sweet smile

Sweet smile

The circle of your smile
