Saw You Hanging There

Sun shines through the maple leaves

And I saw you hanging there

Dangling like a sugar peach

Sweetening the air

Eyes closed shut

I hope your mind

Is stuck inside a dream

Hanging from a tree like this

Seems to me obscene

But wherever you wander around

Whatever the steps you take

I will never hold you dearly

You’ll never be as near to me

As when I saw you hanging there

I figured it came natural

When you’re hiding in the shade

To feel a little cold

To get a little pale

But you seemed a little tender

Did you need a helping hand

I'm still waiting for your answer

Something I won't understand

But wherever you wander around

Whatever the steps you take

I will never hold you dearly

You’ll never be as near to me

As when I saw you hanging there

It’s been a year right to this day

And I still say your name

Now dandelions are showing teeth

Where you used to hang

But wherever you wander around

Whatever the steps you take

I will never hold you dearly

You’ll never be as near to me

As when I saw you hanging

Saw you hanging

As when I saw you hanging there

As when I saw you hanging there
