Everclear - Fire Maple Song - World of Noise

turn away from the pain you don't want
turning it down to avoid them when they call
strange words i heard a long long time ago

i wish i could go 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 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 trees
turned 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 the 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
