Lyrics

Eede

Run sweet auburn find your face
Anotheer crowd another place, you ain't changed a thing
'Cos you're the girl who used to smile
Stayed up all night on the crooked mile, that's how it used to be
But even the sweetest auburn fades like colous do

How many roads do I have to take
Before I catch up with you baby?
How much love do I have to waste
Before you believe what I say?

Go on take the horseshoe from your glove
'Cos I've got balls to call your bluff, no I ain't dead yet
Being everybody's darlin' ain't easy
You can keep your sugar and sympathy
'Cause even the sweetest auburn fades like colous do

How many roads do I have to take
Before I catch up with you baby?
How much love do I have to waste
Before you believe what I say?
How many hearts do you have to break
To get what you needed?
There's not enough time for us to waste
If only you'd hear what I say

In the middle of the night
I could swear I heard her calling
In the middle of the day
How many roads?

How many roads do I have to take
Before I catch up with you baby?
How much love do I have to waste
Before you believe what I say?
How many hearts do you have to break
To get what you needed?
There's not enough time for us to waste
If only you'd hear what I say

In the middle of the night (how many roads?)
Swear I heard you calling (how many hearts?)
In the middle of the day (how much love/how many words?)
