NEVER SAY TRUST ME
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1999


The sky above is filled with stars
The road is long and no cars are in sight
With one hand on the wheel I've been
Driving all day, I can drive all night.
I'm headed for home with one thing on my mind, yeah.

Every hotel I have seen
Has arborite chairs, arborite dreams
Office parties and wedding balls
And tacky pictures on the walls
Pretty barmaid to and fro
The bar band plays the songs we know
She gets into Twist And Shout
And it's closing time and I'm down and out.

That's my second home, yeah,
What more can I say Lord.

You should never say trust me
It's already been done, it's already ready been done
Beneath the seas, beneath the trees and under the sun
Never say trust me, my faith in you is all you need
Love is all I need.

The sky above is filled with stars
May God bless you is all I can say
Cats and dogs and baby's smiles
Will drive my loneliness away
What will be will be, yeah, that is all that I know girl

You should never say trust me
'Cause I know you'll be there, yes I know you'll be there
I'll be as right as rain can be, this is our love affair
Never say trust me, my faith in you is all you need
Love is all I need.

You should never say trust me
It's already been done, it's already ready been done
Beneath the seas, beneath the trees and under the sun
And under the sun.
