saw an earthquake on the west coast
saw ‘em tearing down the wall
saw my baby ask her teddy bear
when’s daddy coming home
and i’m tryin’ to write this letter
but i don’t know what to say
i know how words can hurt you
it’s so damned hard to wait
CHORUS
we got lies ‘til April
that’s what she said
and the purple of a dyin’ rose
won’t get me into bed
don’t you try to blame me
put your fears to rest
‘cause when i go
the good lord know
i’ve given you my best
six months slowly wastin’
love’s gone underground
letters from a dream not home
to a heart that can’t be found
there’s a new song on the radio
and the season’s new premiers
no matter how i bide my time
you’ll wonder if i’m here
CHORUS
someone’s cryin’ pictures
someone’s painting fears
someone shades a cheatin’ lamp
but i’m still lying here
tryin’ to write this letter
as tears fall on the page
i curse the day i met you
but don’t mean what i say
we got lies ‘til April
that’s what she said
and the purple of a dyin’ rose
won’t get me into bed
and the purple of a dyin’ rose
won’t get me into bed
