Sway the Pain Away (1968) - Peter Pepper

(from the 1967 album 'The Road to Perdition')

Lyrics:

Your tears fall onto my shoulder
My arms stop you from getting colder
I promise we will get older, together
It’s better this than to fold up
Reminisce, stare at our past
Maybe we’ll share some laughs
Two hearts to bury one’s grudges
Isn’t that what love is?

Dance along with me
Let your heart be free
Sway the pain away
Tomorrow will bring a brighter day
Tomorrow will bring a brighter day

Thank you for turning my life around
You found me down and out
by that tree you saw quiver
Washed away my sins in the river
Where all o’that ends and your love begins
Away
Washed away my sins
in the river
Where all o’that ends and your love begins
In that same night
I held you tight
We danced til we couldn’t no more
You smiled and fell asleep on the floor

Sway
The pain away
Sway
The pain away
Sway
The pain away

I’m your castle, you can cry
No more hassle, now dry your eyes
Pick up your favorite dress
You deserve no less than the best
Baby, let’s dance,
sway the pain away
Away
Life has ways to hurt us
Baby, whenever you’re wordless
I’ll take in your silence
Those feelings, I’ll guide them away
Away

Sway
The pain away
Sway
The pain away
Sway
The pain away

Tomorrow will bring a brighter day
