lyrics

Hundred miles away

Memories saved

That covered bridge

Where our names are still engraved

You turn to go

I turn to leave

And you turn to gold

And I turn to leaves

In the cool shade

Of a sycamore tree

I Paint a perfect portrait

Of how I used to be

When I'm alone

My mind is slow

You can be the smiling face on a scarecrow

But I know myself

I can't be like that

I can't help myself I will always cry

Keep my frown in a jar on the shelf

And put on my favorite smile

So far away

And my eyes stay, dry

In my head

Is all I want to think about

When I stop and stare

I've got to learn to live without

It'll be easier in the end

When I've already lost a lover

I can't learn to lose a friend

Chorus

Under a stone in the back I've grown

A flower for you dear

A flower that's so beautiful

May now be tellin' how I feel

So I water It everyday

And I rip out every weed

How can you think I would let it wilt

When it was built from just a seed
