Dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you´re not around
shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound (when I hear your lips make a sound)


Thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell you that I´m coming home
and I think I´m gonna stick around
for a while so you´re not alone (for a while so you´re not alone)


If you can hear a piano fall
you can hear me coming down the hall
if I could just hear your pretty voice
I don´t think I need to see at all (don´t think I need to see at all)

Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I want to give you what you give to me
and every breath that is in your lungs
is a tiny little gift to me (is a tiny little gift to me)

I didn´t feel so bad till the sun went down
then I come home
no one to wrap my arms around (wrap my arms around)

Well any man with a microphone
can tell you what he loves the most
and you know why you love at all
if you´re thinking of the holy ghost (if you´re thinking of the holy ghost)
