Intro: (4 bars) Verse: 1 I might go to the mountains of Spain And I'll see all the pretty snow, And I'll dream the dream I dream No matter where I go Verse: 2 We were still young like when we met, And I hadn't fucked it all up yet, And you wanted me to be with you Like before What I like about time is it don't ask why What I like about love is it makes me cry What I like about the bird is she don't need Nothing but sky... Verse: 3 And I know you tried to tell me then No one could bear the shit I put on them I bet you wonder why you even let me in Well, so do I Instrumental Verse: 4 In my dream I never make you pay For all the things you did and did not say I was ready to be good to you And make you stay Verse: 5 And you took me to the carnival town, And we rode the rides up and down, And we watched the birds watch us smile, And then they flew away What I like about time is it don't ask why What I like about love is it makes me cry What I like about the bird is she don't need Nothing but sky... Verse: 6 And I know you think my life's a crime And you talk about it to your wife sometimes Y'all shake your heads and sigh Oh believe me, I shake mine. Outro:
