We got married while you were asleep
Carved our names out with your wooden teeth
And in the night time we'll act like thieves
I tried my best to wash the (bed of leaves?)
So count the leaves in the yard
One for each year that I've been away
We got married while you were asleep
Carved out names out in our old oak tree
You never wanted me to be all that I could be
She heard me singing and ran away with me
So count the leaves
in the oak tree
One for each day
That I've been away
Been away
You got married while I was asleep
at first it hurt a lot
but it didn't cut too deep
Now I don't care where you've been
I just hope I never
See you again
I will come home if you just ask me
I will come home and let love in
