There's two sides to every story. We've heard from our male protagonist on this record a few times so far... This song gives voice to the woman in our story.
lyrics
You know me... this ain't no surprise
I'd rather be alone when the sun rises
Over the ocean
In a September sky
So much to see... but I fear I'll go blind
If I never leave the shadows of this town
I'm bound to go flying
So I can't wear your ring
Chorus:
I don't make no promises
No matter how hard you fall
But it's harder than I thought it'd be
To leave you after all
Do what you please... but I ain't worth your time
And you'd be surprised at what you might find
Save the weeping for the willow
And open your eyes
