lyrics

fall is almost gone
we're counting the leaves that haven't fallen
we're doing out best to get our minds off what's her name
she walked among us all
under the trees and near the falls
and we would give it all for some time
in her hand

tell me everything about her
I wanna know just where I stand
I wanna be the better man
tell me everything you know

we came on too strong
she picked up her things and then took off
and we had better get our minds of what's her name

schools are all shut down
everyone's wandering through the town
trying to get back what we had before she came

flags are at half mast
nobody laughing as they pass
by a memorial we built to what's her name
