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?
