Jon Allen - Sweet defeat lyrics

I was busy going nowhere Hanging out in no mans land Where you showed me the silver There in bad lucks ugly hand You've got the sweetest disposition And a heart that's open wide I know that you're the woman Who's gonna keep me satisfied Sweet defeat I'm lying helpless at your feet And so it's goodbye to the street I'm so pleased to meet you, sweet defeat Well, I'd given up believing That I'd ever end up here But now I'm happy on that high wire With your voice ringing in my ears I wanna call you up on Sunday When I've nothing much to say I wanna hold on to you, darling Throw everything else I got away Sweet defeat I'm lying helpless at your feet And so it's goodbye to the street I'm so pleased to meet you, sweet defeat You're like the morning breeze a-blowing Right through this weary soul You give me a feeling From my head down to my toes Sweet defeat I'm lying helpless at your feet And so it's goodbye to the street I'm so pleased to meet you, sweet defeat Sweet defeat, my sweet defeat
