<pre><font size='+2'>SWISS COTTAGE MANEUVERS lyrics AL STEWART</font><br>On a Christmas cake day one Friday in August<br />
 In a book shop in Charing Cross Road<br />
 I first set eyes on a girl and at once I didn`t know<br />
 <br />
 She had eyes like a poet and hair like a rainbow<br />
 Reflecting the lights that did glow<br />
 And the sadness she kept in her eyes<br />
 Struck my senses a blow<br />
 And so as by chance at the touch of a glance<br />
 We could find ourselves out in the road<br />
 With no crush of time to defeat us and no place to go<br />
 <br />
 And I couldn`t say how but the coffee bar crowd <br />
 Had appeared through the silence that broke<br />
 And she said `Oh my father`s a judge in St Albans you know.`<br />
 Oh well, then perhaps I could help you <br />
 You know that St. Albans is miles away<br />
 And I`ve got a room in Swiss Cottage in which you could stay<br />
 She laughed `Oh I couldn`t do that, for I`ve got to be up in the<br />
 morning you see.`<br />
 So I rang up to find out the first morning train she could take.<br />
 <br />
 And so in the gloom of a candlelit room<br />
 With spaghetti, two forks and plate<br />
 She said `Oh I really would like to be free and escape.`<br />
 Oh well if it`s like that, you don`t have to go back<br />
 and you`re perfectly welcome to stay<br />
 `But I`ve not finished school yet.` she said as she got into bed <br />
 <br />
 And so as she slept and the pure morning crept through the windows<br />
 to take her away <br />
 I thought you can`t make people be what you want them to be<br />
 I could see my self nailed to a dormitory tale of a holiday night`s<br />
 escapade<br />
 And just yesterday she had seemed like a woman to me<br />
 and so like a child with the sleep in her eyes<br />
 Where the sadness of age had once been<br />
 She left on the train with a `See you again` and a smile<br />
 And I couldn`t say what I had won or I lost<br />
 Or even just what I had seen<br />
 But when I`m alone I just think of her once in awhile.<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/swiss_cottage_maneuvers_lyrics-al_stewart.html" target='_blank'>SWISS COTTAGE MANEUVERS lyrics AL STEWART</a></pre>

On a Christmas cake day one Friday in August
In a book shop in Charing Cross Road
I first set eyes on a girl and at once I didn`t know

She had eyes like a poet and hair like a rainbow
Reflecting the lights that did glow
And the sadness she kept in her eyes
Struck my senses a blow
And so as by chance at the touch of a glance
We could find ourselves out in the road
With no crush of time to defeat us and no place to go

And I couldn`t say how but the coffee bar crowd
Had appeared through the silence that broke
And she said `Oh my father`s a judge in St Albans you know.`
Oh well, then perhaps I could help you
You know that St. Albans is miles away
And I`ve got a room in Swiss Cottage in which you could stay
She laughed `Oh I couldn`t do that, for I`ve got to be up in the
morning you see.`
So I rang up to find out the first morning train she could take.

And so in the gloom of a candlelit room
With spaghetti, two forks and plate
She said `Oh I really would like to be free and escape.`
Oh well if it`s like that, you don`t have to go back
and you`re perfectly welcome to stay
`But I`ve not finished school yet.` she said as she got into bed

And so as she slept and the pure morning crept through the windows
to take her away
I thought you can`t make people be what you want them to be
I could see my self nailed to a dormitory tale of a holiday night`s
escapade
And just yesterday she had seemed like a woman to me
and so like a child with the sleep in her eyes
Where the sadness of age had once been
She left on the train with a `See you again` and a smile
And I couldn`t say what I had won or I lost
Or even just what I had seen
But when I`m alone I just think of her once in awhile.
