Your Sweet Touch
Bahamas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what to say
To make it go away
And I'll do that
Tell me what to do
To make it up to you
And I'll do that too

Time means so much

If all I have is your sweet touch
And so it goes
And so it goes
Which way I've never, ever known

Do I hold you back
In all the ways I lack what ya need, dear
And heading toward the end
You were looking for a friend and that ain't me, dear

Time means so much
If all I have is your sweet touch
And so it goes

And so it goes
Which way I'll never, never know
