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
