Lyrics:

I hope you kept the note
That I left for you to read
Or did you throw it away
For passersby to stop and see?
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been?

Now the leaves are off the trees
The view is clear this time of year
And as I watch as you go out
I see the breath sigh from your mouth
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been?

You never kept the note
That I left for you to read
I know you threw it away
I saw it blow around the streets
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should have been?
