Last Time You Came Around

Last Time You Came Around – Richard Ruane

Some friends told me they saw you today
So you’re back in town, should I run the other way? Well I say . . .

Maybe the past is all done at last, the future still waits to be found
No reason to fear, be no hearts breaking here like the last time you came around
And maybe you’re on a straight path again, and I’m standing on solid ground
No tricks up your sleeve and no thoughts to deceive like the last time you came around

But tell me Darlin’ is there trouble to see? I’m not looking to fight but I won’t go peacefully
Why don’t you stop and take a good look about.
You’re a hard one to trust and I’ve got nothing but doubt

But maybe there’s no cause for worry now, you’ve come back solid and sound
No need for alarm, no one’s coming to harm, like the last time you came around
Oh I’ve got ninety-nine reasons to doubt you now, ninety-nine more could be found
Oh show me you’re true, won’t be lied to by you, like the last time you came around

But tell me Darlin’ is there trouble to see? I’m not looking to fight but I won’t go peacefully
Why don’t you stop and take a good look about.
You’re a hard one to trust and I’ve got nothing but doubt

Oh maybe there’s no cause for worry now, ‘cause everything’s solid and sound
I won’t be easily led by some sweet words you said like the last time you came around
There’s no need for alarm, won’t be coming to harm, like the last time
That you came around
The last time that you came around
