Clifford T. Ward – Detriment lyrics

Love in her eyes, blood in her lips
She had somethin' very special I miss
No-one before her, nobody since
How could one girl have such looks and good sense?

What she always went to say
Well I knew what she meant
But she never meant to stay
To my detriment.

Somethin' about her, nothing to fear
I was confidence itself with her near
So lovely, So delicate
She straightened me when I got mixed up.

God almighty why'd you take her from me?
Well it makes no sense
She was everything I wanted to be
It's to your detriment.

INSTRUMENTAL

Love in her eyes, blood in her lips
She had somethin' very special I miss
No-one before her, nobody since
How much longer must I wait in suspense?

What she always went to say
Well I knew what she meant
But she never meant to stay
To my detriment
To my detriment
To my detriment.
