Lost Lyrics - Steve Forbert

When you saw me in that morning light 

I was sober but I felt alright 

I was lonesome but I did not care 

I was happy on my down there 

You came on so friendly 

Introducing her to me 

Somehow something shifted 

And I drifted out to sea 

And then I don't wish a tear 

And I don't mean your harm 

But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms 

Is she poison - man I just can't tell 

I'm in heaven but I don't feel well 

and here I stand a talking 

I don't expect to shake your hand 

I don't know what you're thinking 

But I hope you'll understand 

And I don't wish a tear 

And I don't mean your harm 

But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms 

I bought some tickets 

And I packed my clothes 

Cause I'm leaving 

And I hope she'll go 

I'm going back to Memphis 

And I'd like to change her name 

Do I have her love 

Or am I caught up in some game 

And I don't wish a tear 

And I don't mean your harm 

But I'm lost in your sweetheart's arms
