The Ground We Met On
(Words & Music by Keith Brown - Spring 1969)
 
The ground that we first met on, it used to shine,
But it don’t shine so much now, it’s losing light,
Because of a love that we both once knew
It’s gone and now I’m so blue,
You’re leaving me all alone.
 
The time we spent together is on my mind,
The nights I wondered whether true love I’d find,
But now it’s gone, lady can’t you see?
You took it away from me
By leaving me all alone.
 
CHORUS:
The ground that we first met on baby, it used to shine,
And lately I’ve been finding you been on my mind,
The ground that we first met on, hallowed for all time,
The tears that I’ve been crying running close behind.
 
Do you not think I love you? Well girl, you’re wrong,
I’m always thinking of you, I sing this song,
A song of pure uncut misery,
Why, why woman? Answer me now,
You’re leaving me far behind,
But baby we used to shine,
Baby, we used to shine,
Baby, we used to shine.
Baby, we used to shine.
