Lyrics One for the Road - John Martyn

One for the Road

If you know, if you know
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Well if you know a lover’s will tell me if you can
Thought it was a woman and I thought it was a man
One for the road
One for the river flowing
Or is it one for the four strong winds
That keep on blowing me away
I met her on a fair day
Her face was full of smiles
She helped me over ditches
And she helped me over styles
One for the road
One for the river flowing
Or is it one for the four strong winds
That keep on blowing me away
Sweet, sweet, sweet smile
Sweet, sweet smile
Sweet smile
The circle of your smile
One date I’m by the seaside
I decided to despair
I knew that I could never decide to leave my darling there
One for the road
One for the river flowing
Or is it one for the four strong winds that keep on blowing me away
I don’t believe I’ll ever change
It isn’t in my style
I only want to live within the circle of your smile
One for the road
One for the river flowing
Or is it one for the four strong winds that keep on blowing me away
Sweet, sweet, sweet smile
Sweet, sweet smile
Sweet smile
The circle of your smile
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Is it one for the road
One for the river flowing
Or is it one for the four strong winds that keep on blowing me away
Blowing me away
Please let me live everyday within the circle of your smile
Your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet smile
Sweet, sweet smile
Sweet smile
The circle of your smile
