- Fire Maple Song

 

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 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

now I can't smile

lying in the grass with the wind around us
as we smile and talk
listen to your Grandma sing those country songs
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire
every four years
we'd lay in the grass all summer long
just to watch the autumn come around. . .

I can't smile
I can't smile

now I live alone
and your so far away
Yeah I call you every 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 said you died
I think I'm gonna 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
