Black Leaf

Eyes water
Drink it down 'til it's gone
I saw her
Drink it down 'til it's gone
Oh well
Always a second time around
So bitter
In my heart and in my mouth
She's a quitter
But I guess we're both quitting now
Oh well
There's always a second time around
It was hard to breathe
She was holding me
Now she's gone and I can't get no air
Those old butterflies
Guess they haven't died
Cause they're eating me alive in there
Please, black leaf
Show me where you took my love
Please hurry
This whole world, it ain't enough
Oh well
There's always a second time around
Oh well
There's always a second time around
