Just around the holidays
Lying down in the grass with the
I knew more than twenty years ago
Now I live alone
I think I'm gonna go back to the house in North Carolina
I can't smile
Just to watch the autumn come around
Lay between the sheets, lie underneath the maple tree
Now, I can't smile
I don't know what's happening
I don't know what's happening
And your so far away
Turning down to avoid them when they call
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
Strange words I heard a long-long time ago
I still see you in the night
We'd lay in the grass all summer
I can't believe this letter that said you died
Now, turn away from the pain you don't want
I can't smile
I can't smile
I can't smile
Yeah, I call you every year
I wish I could go back to a summer time
Listen to your grandma sing those country songs
And lay in the backyard
Lying above me in the grass
I can't smile
Wind around us as we smile and talk
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me, bury me
