Swiss Cottage Place

Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller

I turned down the covers on a bed where two lovers



Found reasons to face each new day



In a room full of memories, in a house built for love



On a street down in Swiss Cottage Place



And my mind just surrenders



To all I remember's come to steal every moment away



Yesterday's gone and where I stand here alone



It's a hollow ringin' place called today



Last night I watched baby as she was boardin'



A Greyhound bus back to St Louis



I couldn't let her know I knew why she was leavin'



Not after all we've been through



Slippin' my coat from my shoulders I said



"Honey, it may get cold in St Louis"



And the look in her eyes grew suddenly sad



She knew that I knew what she knew



And my mind just surrenders



To all I remember's come to steal every moment away



From this room full of memories, from this house built for love



On the street down on Swiss Cottage Place
