Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Root Love

A thousand kisses flying home to you

A thousand kisses, two thousand miles from view

Root love.

A hotel room don't make it

When I'm thinking about your face

Cheap experience don't shake it

Thinking about my place

Root love, root love.

And that Harvey's banging walls again

And the paint job's wearing thin

Got to feeling mean again

Like momma drinking gin

Root love.

The bar looks so inviting

Maybe one more Fanny Mae

Maybe one more happy hour

And another day away from

Root love.

Little boy blue lost again

Telling others sorry tales

Just one more sinking sunrise

And two more crimson sails

And root love.

Well a hotel just don't make it

When I'm thinking about your face

Cheap experience don't shake it

Thinking about my place

Root love.

A thousand kisses, root love.
