A drop of you fell on the window of my conscience
It grew into a steady rain of infatuation
Oh, dear Mary; I loved you from first sight
When you looked me in the eyes
And the clouds cascaded a torrent
You're a false hope
Like your false personality
And I loved you
Only to cope with my own false reality
Oh, Mary
Can you look me in the eyes and tell me you were wrong this time?
My mind now saturated with love for your persuasive touch
My heart now beating, consumed by your deceptive embrace
Oh, dear Mary; I sought to keep you from first sight
When you looked me in the eyes
And I sought to let that feeling linger
You're a false hope
Like your false personality
And I loved you
Only to cope with my own false reality
Oh, Mary
Can you look me in the eyes and tell me I was wrong this time?
I was wrong this time

Smile at me darlin', let me see
We've only got tonight to be free
Oh you're so beautiful, even when you're drunk
I think I'm tipsy too, let's have some fun
I hear you whisper sweetly in my ear
"Baby, tonight I have no fear"
Oh, your long blonde hair evokes a stare from me
But deep down I know it ain't happening
'Cause darlin', before we kiss, you would think over this
There ain't enough whiskey in the world to make you stay
Oh, you're just in town this week, then you're headed southeast
And you'll go back home to your man and forget my name
I felt it unravel before it began
When we sat under the trees holding hands
And I sang to you the loveliest song I knew
But I forgot half of the words 'fore I was through
'Cause darlin', before we kiss, you would think over this
There ain't enough whiskey in the world to make you stay
Oh, you're just in town this week, then you're headed southeast
And you'll go back home to your man and forget my name
Girl, I think I'll always remember you
Even though the moments we spent together were few
I wish you well wherever you may be
And maybe one day, soon again, we will meet
But I ain't counting on that, so goodbye darling

Overthinkin' (Again)
03:29

Haven't seen you since the night we kissed
Oh it's been about three days since
And every hour passes, sends a different message
Leaves me feelin' emptiness
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
About you
Haven't seen your car at the coffee shop
If I did, it'd make my heart stop
And every day I'm there I say a different prayer
Was I that easy to drop?
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
About you
And there's a place for you in my life
Somewhere between enemy and wife
I guess I don't have a choice in this
Still just thinkin' about you, and the night we kissed
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
I'm overthinkin', I'm overthinkin' again
About you

Winter breeze, sing to me
Carry her whisper on your breath
Recreate me, spoken clearly
A gentle kiss from the west
Oh, branches, sculpted by her song
You're on my mind all of the time
Oh, falling leaves, caught by the current
I have no choice but to comply
If I turn away, I will fall
If I do not yield, I won't grow at all
Oh, Winter
Sing me her song
Perpetually leaning in
To the direction of her words
Inclining to hear the whispering wind
Tell its secrets to the world
Would all be lost if I lost you?
Would I find my place?
Would I stretch out my hands to the sky?
Would I keep reaching your way?
If I turn away, I will fall
If I do not yield, I won't grow at all
Oh, Winter
Sing me her song
