Oh, sweet lady, runnin' like a stream

You don't look back because you know your hands are clean

You make believe the past was just a dream

You make believe the past was just a dream



Turn around, turn around

And I will sing for you a song

I don't know where you been

But you've been gone too long



Oh, Elisa, you must begin again

And all the roads that you have walked are comin' to an end

I was your lover but I thought I was your friend

I loved you but I thought I was your friend



Turn around, turn around

And I will sing for you a song

I don't know where you been

But you've been gone too long



Oh, sweet lady, stand beside the sea

Maybe you will find a little time to think of me

Won't you please remember what I tried so hard to be

Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be



So turn around, turn around

And I will sing for you a song

And I don't know where you been

But you've been gone too long
