| Nobody knows it but I am so sad
|
| Nobody knows it but I am so sad
|
| And that is the saddest of all my girl
|
| That is the saddest of all
|
| We climbed the ladder to the top of my house
|
| Never letting go of your hand
|
| The sky trades the moon for the sun my girl
|
| The sky trades the moon for the sun
|
| And I gave to you my ugly brown coat
|
| You made it pretty when you put it on
|
| Warmth in the early morning chill my girl
|
| Warmth in the early April
|
| Then you said you’d trade the love of a man
|
| Tears fell soft from your face to my hands
|
| Said you’d trade your heart for mine my girl
|
| I traded my heart for those days
|
| And you made it clear it was strictly a deal
|
| Of springtime love and that’s how I should feel
|
| So I set the clock back an hour my girl
|
| I set the time a just right
|
| You see somewhere back there when I was boy
|
| Furious I had become by the point
|
| That men are just liars and thieves of sorts
|
| Men are just liars and thieves
|
| But I still believe and I stand by my words
|
| I don’t know what you have seen or you’ve heard
|
| But somebody’s lying to you my girl
|
| Somebody’s lying to you
|
| You really made me believe I could stay
|
| Part with you actions in part what you said
|
| But that was just foolish pride my girl
|
| And those are only feelings inside
|
| So I’m going back to the place where we met
|
| I’m going to find the beer bottle we left
|
| Wedged in the limbs of the tree that we sat in
|
| Wedged in the magnolia tree
|
| Well we hid for days like a proud pair of thieves
|
| Too sure we were right too stubborn too leave
|
| Wasted with the moment we lifted my girl
|
| Stolen forever with you |
