Well i left this New England town Just before the leaves came down And winter showed her face I miss the falling red and gold September when the air gets cold Came out to a different place I didn't see the change Isn't it all so strange Just the way that we turn our heads from side to side Missing what's before our eyes Getting closer every day Didn't see the change I remember just a year before With all that snow outside our door Took us all day to remove And we fell asleep in our warm bed And dreamed of worlds inside our heads Funny what twelve months can do I didn't see the change Isn't it all so strange Just the way that we turn our heads from side to side Missing what's before our eyes Getting closer every day Didn't see the change Didn't see the ways the days get colder all the time Didn't see the nights we spent fighting Drawing our lines Maybe we don't notice how slow we lose our place One day we look in the mirror and see some stranger's face I didn't see the change Isn't it all so strange I didn't see the change Isn't it all so strange Just the way that we turn our heads from side to side Missing what's before our eyes Getting closer every day Didn't see the change I didn't see the change Didn't see the change
