relief is just a swallow away

Lyrics

well i was standin' in the tavern a-feelin' blue, my foot on the rail, just a-thinkin' 'bout you, but i won't be blue all day, because relief - is just a swallow away, well i've been blue before and i will again, i'll drown all my worries or i'll teach 'em how to swim, and i won't be the one to pay, because relief - is just a swallow away, yes, you thought when you left i wouldn't have any fun, i'll admit i worried but i won't be long, we're apart because you wouldn't swallow your foolish pride, so you hurt me deep inside, but you're not the first to hurt me and you won't be the last, can't tell the future, but i've learned from the past, as long as there'd a cabaret, i know relief - is just a swallow away, well, i looked down the bar and what did i see, your sad-lookin' face a-lookin' back at me, wishin' you could turn time a few hours back, get off of that one-way track, well you want me to come over, but i'll tell you true, you're as close to me as i am to you, and that may still be too far away, because relief - is just a swallow away, i said relief - just a swallow away.
