From the recording Watch the Sunset

It seems that I continue to be lovin’ you,
I hope that this summer you might pass through
And sit with me on the porch for a spell
To watch my neighbour’s kids ride their bikes and yell
Yeah, you’re right that there’s not much new to tell
Won’t you please come sit with me on the porch for a spell (we could)
Watch the sunset, maybe you’d forget why you left in the first place
Why you left me at all
Don’t give it a second thought,
maybe bring a sweater in case it isn’t hot
I’ll shake off the blankets and save you a spot
It’s true I still carry a torch
It’s true I dream you’ll come sit with me on the porch
When you roll through my town in torn up shorts
Won’t you please come sit with me on the porch for a spell (we could)
Watch the sunset, maybe you’d forget why you leeeeft in the first place
Why you left me at all
And then when the summer ends I won’t pretend to be happy
I’ll really be happy
And in the fall I’ll have you to hold when the ones who told me it’s time to move on
See that you weren’t really gone
So let’s watch the sunset, maybe I could forget that you left in the first place
That you left me at all
The river outback is ice,
a quiet cold lovely sight
I wanna hear you say I was right
when I told you this love would last
when I told you all you had to do was ask
that I’d go with you, but we didn’t do that
But if there’s any love left in your heart
If you feel there’s a chance of a fire, a flame, a spark
I’m still carrying a torch after months apart (torch after months apart)
So won’t you please come sit with me, on the porch for a spell (we could)
watch the sunset, maybe you’d forget why you left in the first place
Why you left me at all
(continues and fades in a round)
