Long long winter Met her in the spring time Cold blooded sinner in the summer I’mma make her mine Wanted her to change me Can’t nobody save me Left her when the leaves died
Verse: Sitting by the sea side ‘ Told her I would keep her safe Sure as the reaper breaks rocks into sand ‘ make shore Hold hands ‘ take stroll ‘ make plans ‘ change world into something more beautiful You know ‘ the usual convo like who’s your favorite author She’s really into Hawthorne ‘ I’m really into Chaucer Heiress and a pauper ‘ Princess and pea brain She came of her own free will ‘ We sang well into the middle of the night ‘ with a fiddle and a mic Just a little bit of light ‘ Smell nice like sunshine and daisy chain Oh my amazing grace ‘ Skin like silk ‘ Hair like wool She pushed ‘ pulled ‘ I pulled and I pushed Took what I could ‘ Left what I couldn’t fit Shouldn’t it be a little easier to let us sit Underneath that Mississippi moonshine Sweat dripping glistening like new bride Ain’t nobody listening to whispers in the wind and then the sinner starts to bend an ear to fool’s pride
Bridge: War drums beating on the other side of the hill Gotta leave the home that I only started to build If I gotta die ‘ Least my baby’s gonna live Maybe I’ll see her when the leaves come in
Chorus: Long long winter Met her in the spring time Cold blooded sinner in the summer I’mma make her mine Wanted her to change me Can’t nobody save me Left her when the leaves died
