Gerry Rafferty — The Royal Mile

I remember the sound of the passing train As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain And the touch of a hand And the way she said goodbye And we walked in the sun down the royal mile Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled And she cried in the night And I heard her say "Don't go" What can I do, sweet darlin'? I don't wanna go away Looking at you, sweet darlin' I know I wanna stay What can I do, sweet darlin'? In the light of the day, I was rolling home I was thinking of you, waiting on your own And I wanted to call But then something said, oh, no Yeah, but now it's a dream, it's a memory But I'll never forget what you gave to me I was lost and alone But you made me feel okay What can I do, sweet darlin'? I don't wanna go away Looking at you, sweet darlin' I know I wanna stay What can I do, sweet darlin'? I remember the sound of the passing train As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain And the touch of a hand And the way she said goodbye What can I do, sweet darlin'? I don't wanna go away Looking at you, sweet darlin' I know I wanna stay What can I do, sweet darlin'?
