Lyrics
APRIL
words & music: David Allen Downs
c.2006 davedownsmusic/ASCAP
VERSE
Still gets cold in April once the sun goes down/I tried sittin' on my front stoop to see if you'd turn back around/By and by you come to see me but you don't stay too long/Still gets cold in April once the sun is gone/Still gets cold in April once the sun is gone.
VERSE
I imagine you in that chair drinkin' up all my beer/Oh but try, try and I may, I can't make you just appear/It's a silly little game and it hurts if I play too long/Still gets cold in April once the sun is gone/Still gets cold in April once the sun is gone.
BRIDGE
Don't know I should be huddled here so upset and so forelong/When the truth of the matter is it's nice and quiet when you're gone/Don't know why I should be huddled here so upset and so forelong/When the truth of the matter is it's nice and quiet when you're gone/When you're gone/When you're gone..../
VERSE
Grass is growing in the yard, see the lovely Magnolias bloom/Ah but there's many of us still hiding inside our happy gloom/This winter's tale that we've been writing has rambled on a tad too long/Still gets cold in April once the sun is gone/Still gets cold in April once the sun is gone.
