|
When I said I love you, baby |
|
You said knock on wood |
|
I'm afraid I knocked harder |
|
Than I probably should |
|
Those mockingbird words got away from me |
|
Wish I could take them back, yeah |
|
|
|
I wonder how you've been |
|
Since we kissed good-bye |
|
'Cause the grass ain't any greener |
|
here on my side |
|
I thought the broken pieces |
|
would all blow away |
|
When the season changed |
|
But nothing's changed |
|
|
|
|
|
[Chorus:] |
|
The alarm still rings at five-fifteen |
|
The day goes off like a rifle |
|
Mrs. Jones next door is still extreme |
|
Goes on and on about the Bible |
|
What comes around still goes around |
|
Sun comes up, sun goes down |
|
And love goes on |
|
Yeah, love goes on when you're gone |
|
|
|
If we ran into each other, wonder what I'd say |
|
Baby, please come home |
|
Or, looks like rain today |
|
Heard you're moving to Denver |
|
No, I'd never have guessed |
|
Or would I just confess |
|
|
|
|
|
[Repeat Chorus] |
|
|
|
|
|
[Bridge:] |
|
It's an ache in the bones, it's a |
|
ghost in the trees |
|
It's the one little tear that could |
|
fill up the sea |
|
I happened to you, you happened to me |
|
But now that's gone |
|
And love goes on, yeah love goes on |
|
I said, love goes on |
|
And love goes on and on and on and on |
|
|
|
|
|
[Repeat Chorus] |
|
|
|
Yeah, when you're gone |
|
(It's an ache in the bones - it's a ghost |
|
in the trees) |
|
Yeah, yeah when you're gone |
|
(It's the one little tear that could |
|
fill up the sea) |
