Raking Up Leaves

Raking Up Leaves

(Tom T. Hall)



All summer long you smelled like lotion and we made love when we took the notion

Summer is gone and it's hard to believe how lonely I am raking up leaves



Raking up leaves and counting the days

Yes and counting the nights that you've been away

The winter winds blow and memories freeze

I'm missing you and raking up leaves

[ sax ]

Expecting the sun just any day now wish you were here to go out and play now

You say you'll return when they're on the trees

I'm hungry for you and raking up leaves



Raking up leaves and counting the days...
