How can I forget your mother's face And the time it took to settle down As she stood there and disbelieve All after all I was bound I've sent you kisses across the water For I'd go mad if love one true It's hard to find someone to talk to Cause over that's what the weapon do I won't send you timber nails and tears Cause honey, that kind of thing ain't for you I hope you're still running round the yard Picking red roses in the sun I know for you it's so damn hard To catch the breathe you'd never thought it'd run The spring time and noise on the move Oh how I miss that old cherry tree Tell me all the white blossoms have bloomed Cause over here that's one thing you never see I won't send you timber nails and tears Cause honey, that kind of thing ain't what you need.
