"For The Birch" lyrics - LISA LOEB

They bought it for the birch, then the birch was gone
She planted daffodils, life goes on
They almost lost it all when the winter came
She started over, seasons change
Looking at her picture, I can almost hear her saying

[Pre-Chorus:]
She'd say
"Kick off your Mary Janes and your coat and gloves
And hang your hat, it doesn't matter where
Come sit beside me, and we can talk about it"
Wish that I could go back there

[Chorus:]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
When I lose my way, I lose my light
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
What would she say to me tonight?

Some days you're out of focus, sometimes you can't explain
There's a bigger picture outside the frame
When you're too stuck in it, you can't see beyond it
Take a slow minute, remember life goes on

[Pre-Chorus:]
Kick off your Mary Janes and your coat and gloves
And hang your hat, it doesn't matter where
Come sit beside me, and we can talk about it
Wish that I could go back there

[Chorus:]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I lose my way, I lose my light
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
What would she say to me tonight?

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I lost my way, I've lost my light
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
What would she say to me?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I lost my way, I've lost my light
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
What would she say to me?

[Outro:]
Kick off your Mary Janes, your coat and gloves
And hang your hat, it doesn't matter where
