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 between 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
and 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 jus tto watch the autumn come around...
I can't smile
I can't smile
I can't smile
now I live alone and you're so far away
I call you once a year just around the holidays
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 gomma go back to the house in North Carolina and lay in the backyard
get drunk and let the leaves just bury me bury me...
I can't smile
I can't smile
