Lucinda Williams: Sweet Old World

See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring
Someone calling your name
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm
Didn't you think you were worth anything
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

Millions of us in love, promises made good
Your own flesh and blood
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
Didn't you think anyone loved you
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

Hi all, I am thinking of changing the actual still of the video (or adding a few instead) and I would love to have your suggestions on which pics to use. I will be most thankful for your suggestions.. Thanks in advance...

@STONEBEADMAKER but "Sweet Old World" is not included in Live at the Fillmore, is it? It really is a great performance, but unfortunately Sweet Old World was not played during those sesions... unless I am wrong, in which case I would love to listen to that version..

One of my all-time favorites. If you have suffered a friend's suicide or attempted suicide, it means all the more.

I love this song...it touches my soul every time I hear it...

[Karen McCartney]

I have always felt that this song was written for my beautiful mother, who committed suicide when I was a child. Not a day passes without me suffering her loss. Thank you Lucinda for the precious gift of this song.
