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.
