THREES A STACK OF DAILY PAPERS ON HER DOORSTEP
AND THE GRASS HAS GROWN UP MORE THAN SHE'D ALLOW
YES, IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A LITTLE MORE LIKE A VACATION
NEVER KNEW THAT I'D MISS HER UNTIL NOW
FROM BOTH ENDS THE CANDLE SEEMS TO BURN MUCH BRIGHTER
GUESS SHE SAW THE FLAME I TRIED SO HARD TO HIDE
LOOKS LIKE IM THE ONE THAT GOT CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
BURNT MY FINGER
I GOT THERE JUST IN TIME TO WATCH LOVE DIE
YEA, I GOT THERE JUST IN TIME TO WATCH LOVE DIE
THERE'S A CHANGE OF ADDRESS BLANK INSIDE THE MAILBOX
AND THE KEY SHED USUALLY LEAVE FOR ME NOT HERE
YES, ITS PLAIN TO SEE THAT SHE NO LONGER WANTS AN EXPLANATION
GUESS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD NOT FIND HER HERE
FROM BOTH ENDS THE CANDLE SEEMS TO BURN MUCH BRIGHTER
I GUESS SHE SAW THE FLAME I TRIED SO HARD TO HIDE
LOOKS LIKE IM THE ONE THAT GOT CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
BURNT MY FINGER
I GOT THERE JUST IN TIME TO WATCH LOVE DIE
BUT I GOT THERE MUCH TO LATE TO SAY GOODBYE.
