Got a little rhyme difference in the builds but it doesn't affect the mood or music of this as I feel it. Autumn leaves cover the lawn A naked maple's clothes They rustle in the breeze at dawn Warning of the coming cold Just like them our time had come To drop the romance we'd outgrown (build) This ol house became our first care Painting rooms making repairs Key's still there under the mat Near the porch chairs where we sat Chorus: But I get like this sometimes Thinking bout you fills my mind Your black hair and your red lips The scent of you when we kissed Your fancy soaps in the shower Making love, talking for hours Kitchen looks so bare at breakfast Eatin toast makes a lonely crunch A voiceless time but who'd guess We'd grow tired of being one And we tried hard to make the best Of what was left of our lost love (build 2) Last year we vacationed camping Sang songs by the fire beautifully But the whole thing left us hanging Without love, just friends in need Chorus: But I get like this sometimes Thinking bout you fills my mind Your black hair and your red lips The scent of you when we kissed Your fancy soaps in the shower Making love, talking for hours Wind chimes ring on the patio Your image drifts out of sight Took the long way but now we know Sometimes lovers aren't for life Birds in the feeder come and go And I feel alone but I'm alright (build 3) I'll miss all the holidays But who knew when we started Years later we would change And fate would find us parted Chorus: But I get like this sometimes Thinking bout you fills my mind Your black hair and your red lips The scent of you when we kissed Your fancy soaps in the shower Making love, talking for hours Ain't doin nothin at all |
