Dead leaves and the dirty ground

When I know youre not around

Shiny tops and soda pops

When I hear your lips make a sound (when I hear your lips make a sound)

Thirty notes in the mailbox

Will tell you that I'm coming home

And I think I'm gonna stick around

For a while so your'e not alone (for a while so you're not alone)

If you can hear a piano fall

You can hear me coming down the hall

If I could just hear your pretty voice

I dont think I need to see at all (dont think I need to see at all)

Soft hair and a velvet tongue

I want to give you what you give to me

And every breath that is in your lungs

Is a tiny little gift to me (is a tiny little gift to me)

I didnt feel so bad till the sun went down

Then I come home

No one to wrap my arms around (wrap my arms around)

Well any man with a microphone

Can tell you what he loves the most

And you know why you love at all

If youre thinking of the holy ghost (if youre thinking of the holy ghost)
