lyrics

What you want, I can't give to you
all at once, in an afternoon
we say "so long" to the scent of August days
summer's gone and you are far away

and now . . . Maybelle's gone
and now . . . Maybelle's gone
somehow life goes on

The trees stripped bare in there cold despair
the leaved turned brown; we're floating to the ground
a cold wind blows through these empty limbs
we're in the yard where our folks still live

and now . . . Maybelle's gone
and now . . . Maybelle's gone
somehow life goes on

You think too much, better than not at all
or drowning your thoughts in grandpa's alcohol
in through the haze I can hardly see
all I know is you are finally free
and I must let you be

and now . . . Maybelle's gone
and now . . . Maybelle's gone
somehow life goes on

your life goes on
my life goes on
her life goes on
