I  met Jane  in September's throw
January's grass,  we let each  other go
I  met Helen  on March's back
She  took my coat  and she stole  my hat
I  met you when  the weather  got fine
You  said 'I've got yours  if you've  got mine'
 And the worst  and best  of all  we knew
 Stayed  out to rust  in the morning  dew
Didn't  take long  to sing  our love
Was  a harvest feast,  was a hand  to glove
When  winter came  you couldn't stand  to sit
You  just the same  never burnt  but lit
With  a world at war  and my thoughts  on you
 I didn't  care to fall,  there wasn't  much to  do
 And the worst  and best  of all  we knew
 Stayed  out to rust  in the morning dew
Churlish  May  when the year  was fair
Gone  full circle  when things  went square
Ate  my meal  an un-noble beast
Left  me to pay  not a movable  feast
Look  I got nothing, dunno  where  I am
 Got a fistful  of questions,  not an answer  to hand
 And the worst  and best  of all  we knew
 Stayed  out to rust  in the morning dew
Morning  dew
 With a blow  me down  the road,  dead in the wood
Further  from you  now, then the roots  from the  leaves
Drunk  on the wood,  never seen  any trees
My  ore's out the water  and the lake  that I'm sailing
 Is your dear  father's daughter  and it's cold  and I'm ailing
Are  you drowning me slowly,  was the school  meant to teach
Are  you leaving so slowly,  where's the shore,  where's the beach?
 And the worst  and best  of all  we knew
 Stayed  out to rust  in the morning dew
 Then i think he starts to play the verse again, but it fades after like the first bar or
 something, you’ll get the rest from listening to it. Enjoy &61514;
