Leggett Serenade
Chopping wood in the rain
The axe swings up and falls again
I watch you move so smoothly in the dance
Listening to the hollow sound
Of splitting logs as they hit the ground
I'd build a fire for you if I had the chance
Let the chips fall where they can
I've tried my best to understand
Why we stand out here in the rain
In our anger and our pain
Afraid to feel the love that's in our hands
Love that was so strong
Stopped you short when it came along
Sometimes I wonder why you ever stayed
'Cause when you turn away
And save yourself for a rainy day
Love grows weak and then it starts to fade
Let the chips fall where they can
I've tried my best to understand
Why we stand out here in the rain
In our anger and our pain
Afraid to feel the love that's in our hands
In the winter's wet and cold
Some people change and some just grow old
The years go by in spite of what you do
I'd like to lay you down
And turn your twisted head around
But babe, there's really nothing that I can do
Let the chips fall where they can
I've tried my best to understand
Why we stand out here in the rain
In our anger and our pain
Afraid to feel the love that's in our hands
The axe swings up and falls again
I watch you move so smoothly in the dance
Listening to the hollow sound
Of splitting logs as they hit the ground
I'd build a fire for you if I had the chance
Let the chips fall where they can
I've tried my best to understand
Why we stand out here in the rain
In our anger and our pain
Afraid to feel the love that's in our hands
Love that was so strong
Stopped you short when it came along
Sometimes I wonder why you ever stayed
'Cause when you turn away
And save yourself for a rainy day
Love grows weak and then it starts to fade
Let the chips fall where they can
I've tried my best to understand
Why we stand out here in the rain
In our anger and our pain
Afraid to feel the love that's in our hands
In the winter's wet and cold
Some people change and some just grow old
The years go by in spite of what you do
I'd like to lay you down
And turn your twisted head around
But babe, there's really nothing that I can do
Let the chips fall where they can
I've tried my best to understand
Why we stand out here in the rain
In our anger and our pain
Afraid to feel the love that's in our hands
