Dead leaves and the dirty groundwhen I know you're not aroundshiny tops and soda popswhen I hear your lips make a soundwhen I hear your lips make a sound
Thirty notes in the mailboxwill tell you that I'm coming homeand I think I'm gonna stick aroundfor a while so you're not alonefor a while so you're not alone
If you can hear a piano fallyou can hear me coming down the hallif I could just hear your pretty voiceI don't think I need to see at allI don't think I need to see at all
Soft hair and a velvet tongueI want to give you what you give to meand every breath that is in your lungsis a tiny little gift to meis a tiny little gift to me
I didn't feel so bad till the sun went downthen I come homeno one to wrap my arms around
Well any man with a microphonecan tell you what he loves the mostand you know why you love at allif you're thinking of the holy ghostif you're thinking of the holy ghost

03. I'm Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman
Well I'm finding it harderto be a gentleman every dayall the manners that I've been taughthave slowly died awaybut if I held the door open for youIt would make your day
You think that I careabout me and only mewhen every single girl needs helpclimbing up a treewell I know it don't take muchto satisfy me
Maybe it's whatever's in my mindthat's distracting mebut if i could find emotionto stimulate devotionwell then you'd see
Well I'm finding it hard to saythat I need you twenty times a dayI feel comfortable so baby whydon't you feel the same?have a doctor come and visit usand tell us which one is sane
Well I never said I wouldn'tThrow my jacket in the mud for youbut my father gave it to me somaybe I should carry youthen you said"You almost dropped me"so then I didand I got mud on my shoes----------------------------------------------------------------------
04. Fell In Love With A Girl
Fell in love with a girlfell in love once and almost completelyshe's in love with the worldbut sometimes these feelingscan be so misleadingshe turns and says "are you alright?"I said "I must be fine cause my heart's still beating"She says "come and kiss me by the riverside, bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating"
Red hair with a curlmellow roll for the flavorand the eyes for peepingcan't keep away from the girlthese two sides of my brainneed to have a meetingcan't think of anything to domy left brain knows thatall love is fleetingshe's just looking for something newand I said it once beforebut it bears repeating
Your mouth said this neverbut your fingers have shown methat your head is so cleveryou claim that you own meforever
You have the right to conduct mein whatever fashionyour attempt construct mein the interest of passionyou sent meto toledo
I came back with handfullsI did what you asked mebut after the thank yousthat you quickly got passed meI'm expectedyou're expectingI'm expectedexpected
Well you're in your little roomand you're working on something goodbut if it's really goodyou're gonna need a bigger roomand when you're in the bigger roomyou might not know what to doyou might have to think ofhow you got started in your little room
da da da
It can't be lovefor there is no true loveIt can't be lovefor there is no true love
Shure I'm C.F.K.but you gotta love methe cost no man can saybut you gotta love me
Well I'm sorry but I'm notinterested in gold mines,oil wells, shipping or real estatewhat would I liked to have been?everything you hate
There is a manÊa certain manand for the poor you may be shurethat he'll do all he canwho is this one?[who's favorite son?]just by his action has the tractionmagnets on the runwho likes to smoke?enjoys a joke?and wouldn't get a bitupset if he were really broke?with wealth and famehe's still the sameI'll bet you five you're not aliveIf you don't now his name

08. The Same Boy You've Always Known
You fell down of courseand then you got up of courseand you started overforgot my name of coursethen you started to rememberpretty tough to think aboutthe beginning of decemberpretty tough to think about
You're looking down againand then you look me overwe're laying down againon a blanket in the cloverthe same boy you've always knownwell I guess I haven't grownthe same boy you've always known
Think of what the past didit could 've lastedso put it in your basketI hope you know a strong manwho can lend you a handlowering my casket
I thought this is just todayand soon you'd been returningthe coldest blue ocean watercannot stop my heart and mindfrom burningeveryone who's in the know saysthat's exactly how it goesand if there's anything good about meI'm the only one who knows
Fall is here, hear the yellback to school, ring the bellbrand new shoes, walking bluesclimb the fence, books and pensI can tell that we're going to be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Leethrough the park and by the treewe will rest upon the groundand look at all the bugs we foundthen safely walk to schoolwithout a sound
Well here we are, no one elsewe walked to school all by ourselvesthere's dirt on our uniformsfrom chasing all the ants and wormswe clean up and now its time to learn
Numbers, letters, learn to spellnouns, and books, and show and tellat playtime we will throw the ballback to class, through the hallteacher marks our heightagainst the wall
And we don't notice any time passwe don't notice anythingwe sit side by side in every classteacher thinks that I sound funnybut she likes the way you sing
Tonight I'll dream while in my bedwhen silly thoughts go through my headabout the bugs and alphabetand when I wake tomorrow I'll betthat you and I will walk together againcause I can tell that we're going to be friends
