My Enemies Have Sweet Voices (2007 - Remaster) - Al Stewart

Written by：Al Stewart/Peter Morgan

I was in a bar called paradise

When the fiddler

From the band asked me

Why do you stand there crying

I answered him musician this may

Come as a surprise

I was trying to split the difference

And it split before my eyes

And my enemies have sweet

Voices their tones are soft and

Kind when I hear my heart rejoices

I do not seem to mind

I was playing brag in bedlam

And the doctor would not deal

Asking me

Why do you kneel down there bleeding

I answered him physician

I think you would have cried

I was falling back on failure

The failure stepped aside

And my enemies have sweet

Voices their tones are soft and

Kind when I hear my heart rejoices

I do not seem

To mind

I was blind side to the gutter

And merlin happened by

Asking me

Why do you lie down there bleeding

I answered him magician as a matter of a fact

I was jumping to conclusions

And one of them jumped back

And my enemies have sweet

Voices their tones are soft and

Kind when I hear my heart rejoices

I do not seem

To mind
