Run sweet auburn find your face

Another 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?)
