lyrics

I was sneakin'
into your garden late at night
to see if the sapling
that i had planted caught the blight
that all of the maples
in all the neighborhoods nearby
had quietly succumbed to
on the backdrop of the pale moonlight
and while I was sneakin'
into your garden late at night
it caught my attention
in the silhouetted dim lamplight
that you were kissin
somebody who was kissin back
and it was not my reflection
though I felt your lips upon my neck
and i'm alone alone
but rooted here with a leaf caught in my throat

it's a fine line darling
between what's wrong and what is right
and sometimes the bad guys
have not got evil plans in mind
yes most times the bad guys
are fellas just like you and i
who didn't have their wits about them
when the storm came rumblin at them
did you now

alone alone
but rooted here with a leaf caught in my throat
yes i'm alone alone
but rooted here with a leaf caught in my throat
