Turn away from the pain you don’t want
turning down to avoid them when they call
words I heard long long time ago
want to go back to a summer time
I knew more than twenty years ago
sit beneath the sheets
had underneath the maple tree
now I can’t smile
Sit in the grass with the wind around me as we smile and talk
listen to your grandma sing those country songs
she’d tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
lying in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come around
I can’t smile
I can’t smile
Now I live alone
and you’re so far away
I call you once a year
just around the holiday
I still see you in the night
lying above me in the grass
I can’t smile
Turn away from the pain you don’t want
turning down to avoid them when they call
I can’t believe this letter that says you died
I’m going to go back to the house in north Carolina
and lay in the backyard
get drunk and let the leaves just bury me
bury me
I can't smile
I can’t smile
I don’t know what happened to me
I don’t know what happened to me
I can’t smile
I can’t smile
