Sweet Prudence
so much older today
Sweet Prudence
have you found a new place to play?
with expensive grownup toys
making lots of sunny noise
and you've found a new man
a Beatles fan
and he came looking for you
when you were blue
Sweet Prudence
what was he supposed to do?
Sweet Prudence
he found your smile
Sweet Prudence
but it took him a while
he found you hiding from the sun
you wouldn't walk & wouldn't run
and you stayed inside
lonely and cried
but he came looking for you
when you were blue
Sweet Prudence
what was he supposed to do?
then the guns went bang
while your sister sang
and the gurus bled
before the party fled
you were wearing white
dancing at night
won't you let me see your face?
has it disappeared without a trace?
Sweet Prudence

Sweet prudence
have you found a new place to play?
