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
