A Salty Dog - The Milk Of Human Kindness lyrics

rate me

When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had did you think that it might be time to stop? When you knew that I was through that I'd done all I could do did you really have to milk the final drop? Not content with my mistake you behaved just like a snake and you left me for a wasp without a sting Tell all my friends back home that I did it on my own and that to their well-worn cares they should cling When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had did you feel you had to break that lonely vow? When you knew that I was through that I'd done all I could do did you really have to sow that final plough? Not content with my mistake, you behaved just like a snake and you left me for a wasp without a sting Tell all the folks back home that he did it on his own and that to their well-worn cares they should cling
