I can sit here drinking licorice tea

And stare at the golden moon

Just picturing the way things used to be

The hot summer in the middle of June

You were there in your peach silk dress

Laughing at me cause I was a mess

A tall glass of lemonade

I can sit here in my rocking chair

Down by the riverside

I could think about your golden hair

But I'll think about my foolish pride

You were there beside me

Lay down your head sweet Rosa Marie

Just you and me and the distant hound

Just one kiss and the sun went down

It really wasn't that long ago

It really wasn't that long ago

Let the river pull me under

Down to the cold cold blue

Let the lightning and the thunder

Have just one crack and I'm through

Let the stars choose my number

But I ain't going down not because of you

I can sit here all alone
Bm D D/Db B/Bb
And howl as the moon goes down
Bm D D/Db B/Bb
A burning fever down in my bones

I'm almost certain that I'll come around

The roller coaster and the ferris wheel

Cotton candy, yeah, whatever you feel

Just hold my hand and hold it tight

A candy apple in the middle of the night

It really wasn't that long ago

It really wasn't that long ago

Let the city drag me down

Like she just might do

Til I'm scraping the ground

With holes in my shoes

With my head spinning round

But I ain't going down not because of you

Because of you

Because of you
