Sad American Night - Birds in Springtime

If you want me to tell my story I've got all day
But if you're looking for a happy ending there's an easier way
Just go, baby go
I was raised in central Kansas where the rails collide
There's a silver moon shining by the river tonight
Will I lose you out there later on
We used to see birds in springtime, now they're all gone
Nice to know, nice to know
The world's spinning fast, why not take it slow
Nice to know, you've been nice to know
But everything you love, sometimes you gotta let it go

L is for Loving, L is for Leaving
I'm hooked on a fortune, I'm hooked on a feeling
O is for Open, O is for Over
I'm caught up in Crimson, I'm cut down in Clover
V is for Very, Very Suspicious
You do the cooking, and I'll do the dishes
E is for Every, You know, Everything Ever
Man it don't work out that way all the time but never say never

But the obvious difference to me
I still like to do the things you do
The obvious difference to me
You don't love me but I still love you

If you want me to tell my story I've got all night
But if you're looking for a happy ending, won't make anything right
Hey, if you got a problem, there's the door
Don't think I can use it anymore
I don't know, I don't know
The world's spinning fast, why not take it slow
Nice to know, you've been nice to know
But everything you love, sometimes you gotta let it go

L is for Loving, L is for Leaving
I'm leaving behind all that troublesome feeling
O is for Open, O is for Over
My doors are open, if you're coming over
V is for Very, Very Ambitious
But I'll do the cooking, and I'll do the dishes
E is for Every, You know, Everything Ever
Man it don't work out that way all the time but never say never

But the obvious difference to me
I still like to do the things you do
The obvious difference to me
You still love me, I still love you
