From The Fall

She said, "Boy, won't you come over? I still miss you all the time It's a bittersweet October, and I'm headed for the Northern pines Well, this autumn fall feels empty Black and white leaves touch the ground You're the only color I've got left, and it's slowly fading out" All this distance left between us, keeps me locked inside my head Tried to tell myself It's over, but I'm hangin' on by a thread Oh, dear love of mine, forgive me I'm still learning how to shake the frost Writing these letters from the fall Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all And this colder weather won't be long But it feels like forever just waiting for you to come home Writing these letters from the fall I said, "Girl, won't you believe me? You're the only one that's mine" As the days keep draggin' slower, it seems like we're losin' time But this pen, it spills our memories from that summer in Tupelo I still dream about our future and breakin' off this broken road Writing these letters from the fall Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all And this colder weather won't be long But it feels like forever just waiting for you to come home Writing these letters from the fall She said, "Boy, won't you come over? I still miss you all the time" I said, "Girl, won't you believe me? I'm headed for the Northern pines"
