Story Behind the Song
listen to the lyrics. thats the story.
Lyrics
i lost her in april, she told me in may
i did everything i could, i did it right away
i kissed her oily skin, i got ice for her foot
but still she wouldnt change her mind,
and im not sure if she should
id like to say i saw it coming
but i didnt have a clue
id like to say i was ready
but it isnt true
she laughed while i was inside her
it was the simplest thing
how much crueler when beauty
dies in Spring
i lost her in april, she told me in may
i did everything i could, i begged her to stay
i told her she was beautiful, i admitted i was shit
i said that i would make her dinner and get to know her kid
(G A etc)
i dont know if i loved her
i cant say if she loved me
we had sort of an arrangement
we didnt mention such things
powerless are we dissemblers
powerless are we who yearn
under these snowy breasts
the wheels of justice turn
i lost her in april, she told me in may
i gave her 1000 reasons why she should stay
i said that id been sleepwalking and i was ready to wake up
i begged her not to lose her faith in me not to give up
but all this time
her brave blue eyes
were picturing a future clean of me
oh all this time
her sweet blue eyes
were looking quite past me
(solo Bm A G)
i lost her in april, she told me in may
i plied her for an explanation why things had to change
i told her i could make all the good times wed shared last
i told her id been faithful to her though she didnt ask
i said i wouldnt move next summer, id just stick around
but it didnt matter anyway cause she didnt make a sound
