lyrics

F C
Once we fell asleep on the back porch
F C
Naked as the stars overhead
F C AM
We slept until dawn and woke up slow
F G
Whispering in our makeshift bed

Chorus
F G. C
I can’t keep a star from falling
F G. C
Or dew from hitting the ground
F G. C. AM
I can’t get back what I lost before
F G
I knew what I had found.


F C
Now and then I get a letter from you
F C
You’ve got a quarter horse and two cats
F C. AM
I picture you reading Hemingway
F G
Embraced by the smell of cut grass

Chorus
