by david allan coe and jimmy townsend
threes a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
and the grass has grown up more than she′d allow
yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
never knew that i'd miss her until now
from both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
guess she saw the flame i tried so hard to hide
looks like im the one that got caught in the middle
burnt my finger
i got there just in time to watch love die
yea, i got there just in time to watch love die
there′s a change of address blank inside the mailbox
and the key shed usually leave for me not here
yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
guess i should have known i would not find her here
from both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
i guess she saw the flame i tried so hard to hide
looks like im the one that got caught in the middle
burnt my finger
i got there just in time to watch love die
but i got there much to late to say goodbye.
