| Hunter | |
| On a warm summer day, at the hour of my youth | |
| I walked the four miles to your door | |
| You wore a straw hat, high heels to match | |
| And the whitest cotton dress I ever saw. | |
| When I tried to hold you, you turned away | |
| You don't have to tell me, it's all over your face | |
| I can see the writing on the wall | |
| And there's a distance in your eyes that says it all. | |
| Read it and weep, I can't get no sleep | |
| 'Cause I know you won't change your mind tomorrow | |
| I'm sinking under and I don't wanna lose you | |
| This emptiness is more than I can handle. | |
| You gave me no reason but you gave me a rhyme | |
| I put the words to music and I was out of my mind | |
| All I've got's the letters that I keep | |
| And sometimes just before I go to sleep. | |
| I read 'em and weep, you swept me off of my feet | |
| Now I know, time's the only healer | |
| This jealousy hurts, the thought of seeing you with someone else | |
| Cuts like a knife into the heart of me. | |
| Life is a river, it twists and it turns | |
| But I'll get over you, babe, I'll live and I'll learn | |
| The paper's full of January sales | |
| I guess I won't be buying fairytales. | |
| Read 'em and weep, cryin' in my sleep | |
| 'Cause I know I'm gonna be alone tomorrow | |
| And I walked the four miles, yeah, I walked the four miles | |
| In tears and sorrow. | |
| This was the story, here's where it ends | |
| Next time I'll be wiser, won't get let down again | |
| I wanted you so badly but I failed | |
| Now all I got's these little paper trails. | |
| Read 'em and weep, read 'em and weep | |
| Oh yeah, de de de | |
| Read 'em and weep, read 'em and weep | |
| Ah, ha. | |
| I wanted you so badly but I failed | |
| Now all I got's these little paper trails, ah. |
