I walked four miles to your door.
We wore a straw hat, high heels to match
And the whitest cotton dress I ever saw
When I tried to hold you,
You don't have to tell me,
I can see the writing on the wall
And there's a distance in your eyes
This emptiness is more than I can handle
when I was out of my mind
All I've got's the letters
Sometimes just before I go to sleep
Now I know that time's the only healer
the thought of seeing you
Cuts like a knife into the heart of me
Life is a river, it twists and it turns
But I'll get over you babe,
The paper's full of January signs
I guess I won't be buyin'
I'm gonna be alone tomorrow
And I walked the four miles, yeah
I walked the four miles in
I wanted you so badly, but I failed
Now all I got's these little paper trails
I've on my way, oh yeah, yeah
I've been on my way, I've on my way,
I wanted you so badly, but I fight
Now all I got's these little piper trials
Ah -ah -ah -ah -ah -ah -ah
