She said, "Boy, won't you come over?
I still miss you all the time
It's a bittersweet October
And I'm headed for the northern pines
Well, this autumn fall feels empty
Black-and-white leaves touch the ground
You're the only color I've got left
And it's slowly fadin’ out"
All this distance left between us
Keeps me locked inside my head
Tried to tell myself it's over
But I'm hangin' on by a thread
Oh, dear love of mine, forgive me
I'm still learnin' how to shake the frost
Writin' these letters from the fall
Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all
And this colder weather won't be long
But it feels like forever just waitin' for you to come home
Writin' these letters from the fall
I said, "Girl, won't you believe me?
You're the only one that's mine
As the days keep draggin' slower
It seems like we're losin' time
But this pen, it spills our memories
From that summer in Tupelo
I still dream about our future
And breakin' off this broken road"
Writin' these letters from the fall
Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all
And this colder weather won't be long
But it feels like forever just waitin' for you to come home
Writin' these letters from the fall
She said, "Boy, won't you come over?
I still miss you all the time"
I said, "Girl, won't you believe me?
I'm headed for the northern pines"
