lyrics

Lyrics and Music by Bob Brown

1. A woman did implore me
Lay down the weary fight
Leave your doubt and sorrow
They're too heavy for tonight
And as she spoke she said
I'd like to see you smile
Then she took my hand said do your best
And I'll take care of all the rest

Chorus:

1. A woman did implore me
Lay down the weary fight
Leave your doubt and sorrow
They're too heavy for tonight
And as she spoke she said
I'd like to see you smile
Cause you're here with me
And I'm here with you
And tonight I'll be your friend

Chorus

Won't you lie to me mamma?
Get me through this night

Won't you lie to me momma?
We'll hit the truth some other night

We'll hit the truth some other night
Hit the truth some other night
Won't you lie to me tonight?

2. Are you the fine and lovely one
who would be so kind to me?
To cool this restless fever and set my body free?
And though I've long been running
I think I could learn to dance
I've been down so long now I'm singing this song
and I'm ready to take a chance

Chorus

3. And will you sing my soul to rest
In the silence of your skin?
Will you softly surrender
To the place where we begin?
No need to question why
There's nothing to understand
Because I'm here with you
And you're here with me
And tonight I'll be your friend

Chorus

Bob Brown Ashburn, Virginia

Bob's first albums "The Wall I Built Myself" and "Willoughby’s Lament," produced by Richie Havens, and now reissued by Tompkins Square (see links below) have long been placed in high esteem alongside the works of other exploratory greats like Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley and Eric Anderson. His compellingly arranged, folk-focused songs have been described as lilting, melodic and poetic. ... more
