Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Sweet Honesty

Talk of making love

Take your time to bluff your way to stay

Let me use your eyes

Please don't muse with words

That cut me down to size.

With your lovely mind

Never taking time

To treat a woman kind

You remain to me

A vision of

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty.

Do I need to say

Let time, wiser with surprise for borrowing your eyes

Morning sets the scene

And though you stay

The more you go from me, it seems.

With your lovely mind

Never taking time

To treat a woman kind

You remain to me

A vision of

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty that's what you are.

Talk of making love

Take your kind to bluff your way to stay

Let me use your eyes

Please don't muse with words that cut me down to size.

With your lovely mind

Never taking time

To treat a woman kind

O, listen to me now

You remain to me

A vision of

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty

Sweet honesty.

Sweet honesty, sweet honesty

Sweet honesty, sweet honesty

Sweet honesty, sweet honesty.

That's what you are

That's what you are

That's what you are

That's what you are.
