dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you`re not around
shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound
when I hear your lips make a sound
thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell ya that I`m coming home
and I think I`m gonna stick around
for a while so you`re not alone
for a while so you`re not alone
if you can hear a piano fall
you can hear me coming down the hall
if I can just hear your pretty voice
I don`t think I need to see at all
don`t think I need to see at all
soft hair and a velvet tongue
I wanna give ya what you give to me
and every breath that is in your lungs
is a tiny little gift to me
is a tiny little gift to me
I didn`t feel so bad `til the sun went down
then I come home
no one to wrap my arms around
wrap my arms around
well any man with a microphone
can tell you what he loves the most
and you know why you love at all
if you`re thinking of the holy ghost
if you`re thinking of the holy ghost
