(no lyrics first two times)
Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turn them down to avoid them when they call
Words I heard a long, long time ago
Wanna go back to a summertime
I knew more than twenty years ago,
Lay between the sheets, hide underneath the maple tree.

(no lyrics first two times)
Sitting in the grass with the wind around us
as we smile and talk,
Listen to your grandma sing those country songs,
She'd tell us how the maple turned to fire every four years,
Sit in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come around

I've read this song is about his ex, or his brother possibly. I'm not sure because I haven't heard it from him. But, this song is so powerful. I love the first lines... "Turn away from the pain you don't want Turnin' down to avoid them when they call Strange words I heard a long, long time ago ..." The vocals in this are raw and really make me shiver when I hear certain parts. ... Art is such a beautiful soul. He's gone through a lot of hard times, and his songs let you know you're not alone when you are too.

Actually this song is about a house that Art either lived in or visited in Asheville, NC. That's all I know.
