about

I had originally intended to record this tune on The Beat Goes On, but it didn't come together. Eventually, Steve and I wrote this arrangement while we were thousands of miles apart - sending voice memos back and forth.

lyrics

I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear clean water, just to quench my thirst
And I will watch the ferry boats and they'll get high

On a bluer ocean against tomorrow sky
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain
And I will never ever grow so old again

Oh oh sweet thing, my sweet thing
Oh my sweet sweet thing

And I will drive my chariot down your streets and cry
Hey, it's me I'm dynamite and I don't know why
You will take me strongly in your arms again, again, again, again
and I will not remember that I even felt the pain

And I will walk and talk in gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never ever, never ever never ever
never ever grow so old again

Oohh-oh, oh sweet thing, sweet thing
Hu-ohh, my, my, my, my, my sweet thing

Ad lib

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my-oh, sweet thingggg
Ha-oh, my sweet sweet thing
Ha-oh, oo-do, my, my, my, my sweet thing
Ha-oh, oo-oo, my sweet thing
