Sweet Honesty

John Martyn

Talk of making love
Take your time to bluff your way to stay
Let me use your eyes
Please don't muse with words
That cut me down to size.

With your lovely mind
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty.

Do I need to say
Let time, wiser with surprise for borrowing your eyes
Morning sets the scene
And though you stay
The more you go from me, it seems.

With your lovely mind
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty that's what you are.

Talk of making love
Take your kind to bluff your way to stay
Let me use your eyes
Please don't muse with words that cut me down to size.

With your lovely mind
Never taking time
To treat a woman kind
O, listen to me now
You remain to me
A vision of
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty
Sweet honesty.

Sweet honesty, sweet honesty
Sweet honesty, sweet honesty
Sweet honesty, sweet honesty.

That's what you are
That's what you are
That's what you are
That's what you are.
