I hope that you kept the note

That I left for you to read

Or did you throw it away

For passers by to stop and see

And nothing can account for reasons

Why I'd be so mean

Why did 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 side from your mouth

And nothing can account

For reasons why I'd be so mean

Why do I open my mouth

Where 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
