Fire Maple Song Lyrics

Turn away from the pain you don't want turning down to avoid them when they call strange 
words I heard a long long time ago I wish I could go back to a summer time I knew more 
than twenty years ago can't lay between the sheets we lie underneath the maple tree now 
I can't smile lying in the grass with the wind around us as we smile and talk and listen 
to your Grandma sing those country songs she'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every 
four years we'd sit in the grass all summer jus tto watch the autumn come around... I 
can't smile now I live alone and you're so far away I call you once a year just around 
the holidays I still see you in the night lying above me in the grass... I can't smile 
turn away form the pain you don't want turning down to avoid them when they call I can't 
believe this letter that says you died I think I'm gomma go back to the house in North 
Carolina and lay in the backyard get drunk and let the leaves just bury me bury me... I 
can't smile
