Tekst piosenki
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 go back to the summer time
I knew more than twenty years ago
Can't lay between the sheets
We lie underneath the maple tree
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 sit in the grass all summer
Just to watch the autumn come around...
I can't smile
Now I live alone
And you're so far away
I call you once a 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 says 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
