lyrics

There were leaves fallen at your doorstep
As the wind hustled round and round
It's like you didn't wake up this morning
I think the birds sang with a softer sound

My feet are starting to ache
Or maybe it's just this weight upon my bones
I'm trying to find the courage to open the door
Since you didn't answer your phone

And I found you at the kitchen table
With her name still in your eyes
You said she'd take a lifetime just to get over
Yeah, I guess you served your time

What do you do when the record is over
Do you just go back to sleep?
Sometimes all the threads hold together, yeah
Sometime something rips the seams

Cleaned you up and hid all of your needles in the leaves
Don't worry, your mama won't ever know
I wish I could say that you looked peaceful
I think that I should go

Did your words fall like a casket
As you weighed another round
And as all the lies she told you
Left you six feet in the ground

'Cause I found you at the kitchen table
With her name still in your eyes
You said she'd take a lifetime just to get over
Yeah, I guess you served your time

I guess things were unstable
Can you tell me, what color were her eyes?
Love takes a lifetime just to get over
I guess you served your time
Yeah, I guess you served your time

It's a pretty cold day for September
I think it might even snow
Cleaned you up and hid your needles in the leaves
Don't worry, your mama won't ever know
