|
Turn away from the pain you don't want |
|
Turning down to avoid them when they call |
|
Strange words I heard a long long time ago |
|
I wish I could go back to a summer time I knew more than twenty years ago= |
|
Can't lay beneath the sheets we lie underneath the maple tree |
|
Now I can't smile |
|
Lying in the grass with the wind around us as we smile and talk |
|
Listen to your Grandma sing those country songs |
|
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years |
|
We'd sit in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come around |
|
I can't smile now |
|
I live alone and you're so far away |
|
I call you once a year just around the holiday |
|
I still see you in the night lying above me in the grass |
|
I can't smile |
|
Turn away from the pain you don't want |
|
Turning down to avoid them when they call |
|
I can't believe this letter that says you died |
|
I think I'm gonna go back to the old house in North Carolina and lay in the backyard |
|
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me |
|
Bury me |
|
I can't smile |
