Read 'em 'n' weep |
| On a warm summer day, at the hour of my youth |
| I walked the four miles to your door |
| You wore a straw hat, high heels to match |
| And the whitest cotton dress I ever saw |
| When I tried to hold you, you turned away |
| You don’t have to tell me, it’s all over your face |
| I can see the writing on the wall |
| And there’s a distance in your eyes that says it all |
| Read it and weep, I can’t get no sleep |
| 'Cause I know you won’t change your mind tomorrow |
| I’m sinking under and I don’t wanna lose you |
| This emptiness is more than I can handle |
| You gave me no reason but you gave me a rhyme |
| I put the words to music and I was out of my mind |
| All I’ve got’s the letters that I keep |
| And sometimes just before I go to sleep |
| I read 'em and weep, you swept me off of my feet |
| Now I know, time’s the only healer |
| This jealousy hurts, the thought of seeing you with someone else |
| Cuts like a knife into the heart of me |
| Life is a river, it twists and it turns |
| But I’ll get over you, babe, I’ll live and I’ll learn |
| The paper’s full of January sales |
| I guess I won’t be buying fairytales |
| Read 'em and weep, cryin' in my sleep |
| 'Cause I know I’m gonna be alone tomorrow |
| And I walked the four miles, yeah, I walked the four miles |
| In tears and sorrow |
| This was the story, here’s where it ends |
| Next time I’ll be wiser, won’t get let down again |
| I wanted you so badly but I failed |
| Now all I got’s these little paper trails |
| Read 'em and weep, read 'em and weep |
| Oh yeah, de de de |
| Read 'em and weep, read 'em and weep |
| Ah, ha |
| I wanted you so badly but I failed |
| Now all I got’s these little paper trails, ah |
