Hunter
On a warm summer day, at the hour of my youth
I walked the four miles to your door
You wore a straw hat, high heels to match
And the whitest cotton dress I ever saw
When I tried to hold you, you turned away
You don't have to tell me, it's all over your face
I can see the writing on the wall
And there's a distance in your eyes that says it all
Read it and weep, I can't get no sleep
'Cause I know you won't change your mind tomorrow
I'm sinking under and I don't wanna lose you
This emptiness is more than I can handle
You gave me no reason but you gave me a rhyme
I put the words to music and I was out of my mind
All I've got's the letters that I keep
And sometimes just before I go to sleep
I read 'em and weep, you swept me off of my feet
Now I know, time's the only healer
This jealousy hurts, the thought of seeing you with someone else
Cuts like a knife into the heart of me
On a warm summer day, at the hour of my youth
I walked the four miles to your door
You wore a straw hat, high heels to match
And the whitest cotton dress I ever saw

And there's a distance in your eyes that says it all

'Cause I know you won't change your mind tomorrow

This emptiness is more than I can handle
