lyrics
Don’t let me get swept away
In the gust of a wind like a newspaper page today
And be cast away
Don’t let me get swept away
Like the sands of the time that I tried to keep all at bay
They got swept away
Now I don’t want to get too excited
and say things that I wouldn’t say
(Don’t let me)
Don’t let me get swept away
Don’t let me get swept away
Like a bottled up note on a crest of a wave
I’ll be washed away
Don’t let me get swept away
In the blitz of a mob where I do what they say
and be gone astray
Now I don’t want to get too excited
and say things that I wouldn’t say
(Don’t let me)
No I don’t want to get too divided
and close my eyes or just look away
(Don’t let me)
Don’t let me get swept away
(Don’t let me)
Don’t let me get swept away
