[Verse 1]
I hope you kept the note
That I left for you to read
Or did you throw it away
For passers-by to stop and see?

[Refrain]
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should've been?

[Verse 2]
Now the leaves are off the trees
The view is clear this time of year
And as I watch as you go out
I see the breath sigh from your mouth

[Refrain]
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should've been?

[Verse 3]
You never kept the note
That I left for you to read
I know you threw it away
I saw it blow around the streets
[Refrain]
And nothing can account
For reasons why I'd be so mean
Why do I open my mouth
Where I know silence should've been?

[Outro]
Ah, ah

Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah, ah)
Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah, ah)
Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah)
Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah)
Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah, ah)
Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah, ah)
Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah)
Ah, ah (Ah, ah-ah)
