my love, I passed by those trees
and girl, I swore they wept for me
‘cause they remember too
my dear, they saw my jeans turn green
stained in grass as I held one ring
with hopes that you’d say “yes.”
The preacher said that ‘fore I’m dead, you’d never be alone
so we gathered sticks around us and we prayed it be a home
I felt the autumn leaving when a chill blew through the walls
the fireplace was goin’ but our flame was mighty small
guess I can’t blame the season for changing
oh baby, the winter is cruel
and every night, I’d curse the fool
who couldn’t sleep for restlessness
oh Lord, I fought so long
in hopes that I could carry on
drowning in these woods
we argued ‘bout my tormoil
and before my newborn’s eyes
I saw him growing older
as he saw me wean my lies
I saw that far horizon
and thought to slink off with the moon
she stopped me with her begging
and the girl still in her womb
guess I can’t blame the season for changing.
woman, i’ve found that nothing lasts
apart from every filthy path
I took to run away from you
my dears, please don’t chase the sun
I’ve found that life’s a loaded gun
that never seems to lose it’s bite
we’ve given up on pardon being something I deserve
without a doubt, I’m bleeding out and every drop’s perverse
but if you let me in the back door, I won’t stain your floors for long
just let me say “I love you but know hell’s where I belong”
and that I can’t blame the season
god, I can’t blame the season
girl, I can’t blame the season for changing
