I thought it would be easy 
To change your mind
I thought it would be easy 
Just a question of time

Back when April dreamed of May
I thought of what I'd say
But June went by too soon
And August skipped July

I thought it would be easy 
To change your mind
I thought it would be easy 
Just a question of time

Back when April dreamed of May
I thought I'd find a way
But June went by too soon
And August skipped July

Back when April dreamed of May
I hoped that you would stay
But June went by too soon
And August skipped July 

A few more months like this
Give or take 
I'm fine but trees are bare
And showing wear
A few more leaves
Coming down
Making mounds
On the ground
