Greenhouse

You're a cold day in August
 You're a stream too shallow
 You're a heart shaped box with no letter inside
 You're a seed unplanted
 You're a field run fallow
 Your heart's used up
 You're feeling cast aside
 I'm sorry that I left so soon
 I left you standing at the gallows
 You were all strung out
 The hangman waiting for the sign
 Come see me at the greenhouse
 In the back yard
 Come see me at the oak tree
 With our names carved in the bark
 Come see me at the train tracks
 Bring some pennies for old time's sake
 Even though I'm gone
 There's some memories that you need to take, with you
 Now you're working up the courage
 Just to walk yourself through that doorway
 A big world outside
 You're afraid of what you'll find
 Now you're leaning on friends
 Finding comfort and laughter
 You're patching up your heart
 You're finding some piece of mind
 I'm sorry that I left so soon
 You're stepping down from the gallows
 You were all strung up
 The hangman waiting for a sign
 So come see me at the greenhouse
 In the back yard
 Come see me at the oak tree
 With our names carved in the bark
 Come see me at the train tracks
 Bring some pennies for old time's sake
 Even though I'm gone
 There's some memories that you need to take, with you
 You found a new lover
 You went and got yourself married
 You're doing all the things we never got to do
 You had yourself a baby she's beautiful and happy
 Oh lord how I wish I could have given that to you
 But I left you too soon
 I was standing at the gallows
 I was all strung up
 I gave the hangman the sign
 You don't need me in the greenhouse
 In the backyard
 Down at the oak tree
 With our names carved in the bark
 Don't make it to the train tracks
 Bringing pennies for old times sake
 New memories that you need to make
 It's time for me to fade away
 I'm going home
 Ohh...
