Lyrics

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 you'd trade the love of a man
 Tears fell soft from your face to my hands
 Said you'd 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 that's 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 don't know what you have seen or you've heard
 But somebody's lying to you my girl
 Somebody's 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 I'm going back to the place where we met
 I'm 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
