Back when I was changing like the weather, Back when I let you kiss my lips and I let you see my tears I sat down to write you this letter Cause maybe you've been cryin' baby and I'm nowhere near I went down to the sound to escape the crowd They all talk so loud, saying nothing at all Fever of youth it keeps the mind so clean We get hungry, we get reckless, we get drunk on our thoughts We see right and wrong and nothing in between We borrow to buy what can never be bought I went down to the south to escape the crowd They all talk so loud, saying nothing at all And a wildflower dies like a rose in a glass But one bends back to earth and one's thrown in the trash I wrote you this letter I'm just tryin' to say Once you said someday you might need me Well if someday ever happened to be today Just come on down here darling and see me I went down to the south to escape the crowd Cause they all talk too loud, saying nothing at all Saying nothing at all
