You fell asleep by the water's edge
You can close your eyes but you can't play dead
There's something in those words you wrote
That tells me you're really listening
You feel alright when the winter's gone
The spring arrived but it won't stay long
It's like a dove from up above
When it's you I'm missing
Darling, you can count on me
And I know it's hard to believe
Cause you're cold and you're tired
And the house was lit on fire
But there's nothing in this town you want to leave
You can have your pie, you can eat it too
But America put a spell on you
The plurality of morality
Hides inside your suitcase
You can take your check, you can take your pills
I always promise to pay your bills
I left tonight to climb the heights and to
Smell your toothpaste
Darling, you can count on me
And I know it's hard to believe
Cause you're cold and you're tired
And the house was lit on fire
But there's nothing in this town you want to leave
I went down to the county store
I see the birds, I see the bees
You spilt the honey on the floor
And no, I can't hardly wait
Till I see you in the sun it will be one year to the day
One year to the day
And I can't hardly wait
You fell asleep by the water's edge
You can close your eyes but you can't play dead
There's something in those words you wrote
That tells me you're really listening
You feel alright when the winter's gone
The spring arrived but it won't stay long
It's like a dove from up above
When it's you I'm missing
Darling, you can count on me
And I know it's hard to believe
It's been weeks, it's been months
I saw you waiting for the bus
After all, we both will end up in the sea
