Relief Is Just A Swallow Away |
| Well I was standin' in the tavern a-feelin' blue |
| My foot on the rail, just a-thinkin' 'bout you |
| But I won’t be blue all day |
| Because relief — is just a swallow away |
| Well I’ve been blue before and I will again |
| I’ll drown all my worries or I’ll teach 'em how to swim |
| And I won’t be the one to pay |
| Because relief — is just a swallow away |
| Yes, you thought when you left I wouldn’t have any fun |
| I’ll admit I worried but I won’t be long |
| We’re apart because you wouldn’t swallow your foolish pride |
| So you hurt me deep inside |
| But you’re not the first to hurt me and you won’t be the last |
| Can’t tell the future, but I’ve learned from the past |
| As long as there’d a cabaret |
| I know relief — is just a swallow away |
| Instrumental |
| Well, I looked down the bar and what did I see |
| Your sad-lookin' face a-lookin' back at me |
| Wishin' you could turn time a few hours back |
| Get off of that one-way track |
| Well you want me to come over, but I’ll tell you true |
| You’re as close to me as I am to you |
| And that may still be too far away |
| Because relief — is just a swallow away |
| I said relief — just a swallow away… |
