The Third Time

The first time you took your love away

It was warm outside and all the sparrows sang

The mantis and the bees all went insane

They couldn't bear to hear or speak your name

The first time you took your love away

The second time you took your love away

It was warm inside, the trees were cold and grey

The willow cried, the aspen hid in shame

The quiet winter birch went up in flame

The second time you took your love away

And I've seen the clouds come after me

Hoping too, the sun comes after you

And I've seen the clouds come after me

Hoping too, the sun comes after you

The third time you took your love away

The sun still shined the wind felt fine today

The ground did not feel hollow after all

The darkness all around began to fall

The third time you took your love away

And I've seen the clouds come after me

Hoping too, the sun comes after you

And I've seen the clouds come after me

Hoping too, the sun comes after you
