Win You Back Suzanne Lyrics - The Gathering Field

The sunlight hits me and I shiver 

I rub the sleep out of my eyes 

Pull the mail box open 

And hope to find a sweet surprise 

I stumble back into the kitchen 

I dump out last night's coffee grinds 

I think the whole thing over 

It's like a movie in my mind 

Well, they tell me 

I'm gonna have to carry on without her 

But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned 

I'm gonna take a walk today 

I'll go the old familiar way 

I'll walk up to her and I'll say 

I've come to win you back, Suzanne 

The beauty of this life is changing 

When pressed against the cold, hard facts 

The fact is I got restless 

And you say you ain't coming back 

So hello, friendly next door neighbor 

Hello bird up on the wire 

The thought of her surrender 

Spreads through me like a forest fire 

Well, they tell me 

I'm gonna have to carry on without her 

But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned 

I'm gonna take a walk today 

I'll go the old familiar way 

I'll walk up to her and I'll say 

I've come to win you back, Suzanne 

How could you believe 

That you could get away from me so easy? 

What kind of man would let 

The woman of his dreams just go away? 

Well, you said I'd never change before 

But when I knock upon the door 

You'll see me, the change in me, babe 

I'm on my knees, babe 

Looking at you from across the way 

See her diamond earrings sparkle 

Hear the pounding in my chest 

I wish I had a dollar 

For every one of my regrets 

In the distance he's approaching 

The ghost of who I might have been 

As I walk home alone 

My memory's my only friend 

Well, they tell me 

I'm gonna have to carry on without her 

But I'm afraid that ain't the way I got it planned 

I'm gonna take a walk today 

I'll go the old familiar way 

And I'll walk up to her and I'll say 

I've come to win you back, Suzanne 

I've come to win you back, Suzanne 

I've come to win you back, Suzanne 

To win you back 

I've come to win you back, oh, Suzanne
