///  x2
Two  tall glasses of sweet  iced tea, underneath  the sweet gum tree
And  the love we once  nurtured, you and  me
Disintegrating  violently
Stick  your tongue out
 Catch the pieces  as they drift down the air
 I am too  slow to catch them all
Not  too far gone to care
///  x2
Two  slow summer hours spent picking  at the bones
Figuring  the interest on delinquent  loans
Speaking  in sad and mournful  tones
Trying  to squeeze tears out of  mute stones
Wet  your finger, place it toward  the wind
Feel  disaster in the air
We  are far too slow to outrun it now
Not  too far gone to care
 This is NOT 100% correct, but some variation on this will certainly play well
 enough to sit around and sing along with :)
