Jerry Jeff Walker - Jaded Lover Lyrics

Chuck Pyle



Well now it won't be but a week or two

'Till you'll be out lovin someone new

Seems like it's happened a hundred times before

But I can see you been spreadin' yourself thin too

It's a lonely stage that we been goin' through

So don't get up I can find my own way to the door



CHORUS:

And I can see you are an angel

With wings that won't unfold

Tune up your harp

Polish your old halo

The only kind of man that you ever wanted

Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long

Sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go



You may have thirty lovers behind you

I can feel you but I just can't find you

Seems like you would have found your own self by now

But late at night those lover's tears come back

Faces in your dreams, fingers in your back

Voices of the memories for cryin' out loud



CHORUS



Well it's a lovely sight to see you in your sleep

I believe I'm leavin I'm in too deep

I guess that's easy enough for any man to say

Still we'd never agree if we talked all night

Things are gettin' heavy and I'm travelling light

Goodbye you Jaded Lover you under cover queen for a day



CHORUS



"Well sit on it darlin...."
