On a warm summer day, in 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 'Cos I know you won't change your mind tomorrow I'm sinking under, I don't wanna lose you This emptiness is more than I can handle You gave me no reason, but you gave me 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 'n' weep You swept me off 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 'n' weep Cryin' in my sleep 'Cos 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 I 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 'n' weep Read 'em 'n' weep Oh yeah Read 'em 'n' weep Read 'em 'n' weep Ah, ha I wanted you so badly, but I failed Now all I got's these little paper trails |
