Well you drove off in the summer rain

I waved to you like a sleeping dream

Told me to stay callous if someone bothered me

"The eiffel tower, the marching band

But I'm sure you wouldn't understand"

I just hope you don't stay gone.

Don't leave this world to me.

I saw your mother at the department store

She looked innocent like a still-born

But all I could think about was the sting

Since you've gone nothing's been the same

The wind don't sing and the sky's so dim

I've seen her staring up to it saying.

Don't leave this world to me.

When the winter calls to war

When the spring sets in once more

When the summer starts to sing

When the fall comes marching in

You'll leave this world to me.
