Nobody knows it but I am so sad
Nobody knows it but I am so sad
And that is the saddest of all my girl
$
That is the saddest of all
We climbed the ladder to the top of my house
Never letting go of your hand
The sky trades the moon for the sun my girl
$
The sky trades the moon for the sun
And I gave to you my ugly brown coat
You made it pretty when you put it on
Warmth in the early morning chill my girl
$
Warmth in the early April
Then you said youd trade the love of a man
Tears fell soft from your face to my hands
Said youd trade your heart for mine my girl
$
I traded my heart for those days
And you made it clear it was strictly a deal
Of springtime love and thats how I should feel
So I set the clock back an hour my girl
$
I set the time a just right
You see somewhere back there when I was boy
Furious I had become by the point
That men are just liars and thieves of sorts
$
Men are just liars and thieves
But I still believe and I stand by my words
I dont know what you have seen or youve heard
But somebodys lying to you my girl
$
Somebodys lying to you
You really made me believe I could stay
Part with you actions in part what you said
But that was just foolish pride my girl
$
And those are only feelings inside
So Im going back to the place where we met
Im going to find the beer bottle we left
Wedged in the limbs of the tree that we sat in
$
Wedged in the magnolia tree
Well we hid for days like a proud pair of thieves
Too sure we were right too stubborn too leave
Wasted with the moment we lifted my girl
Stolen forever with you
