I painted your room at midnight So I know that yesterday was over I put all your books on the top shelf Even the one with the four-leafed clover Man I'm getting older I took all your pictures off the wall And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket And i havent slept in what seems like a century And now i can barely breathe Just like the crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky when you and I Were getting high as outer space I never thought you would slip away I guess I was just a little too late Your words still serenade me And your alibis wont let me sleep And I never heard such a haunting melody And now it is killing me You know I can barely breathe
