Raking Up Leaves Songtext
von 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

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
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
