SILLE VEB (Pete Ham)
[acoustic demo from "7 Park Avenue" CD]

Won't be long, I'll be gone

Out on the road

And each song that I sing

Carries the load

Of the one I left behind


Won't be glad, can't be sad

Playing's my choice

But each day that we've had

Shows in my voice

Of the love that's in my mind


Little Sille Veb, when will you find?

Bev Ellis, 1970

Any rain, any pain

Yes, love, it's real

But I can't reassure

Not 'til I feel

That I'm all you want of me


For each day that you wait

Patiently there

I just hope and I pray

Someday we'll share

All the love that there could be


Little Sille Veb, when will you mind?


I want you by my side

I need to be with you

The only time I've lied

Is when you would want me to


[solo:

Little Sille Veb, when will you mind?

Little Sille Veb, when will you find?]
