I wanted to transport my life to you in Amherst
 Even if my car was too small, my feelings could not be reversed
 When you hunger for touch you can be misled
 I could be wrong here's what I think you said
 If you come with me, your soul is revealed
 You take a chance in the mine field
 And must learn to fly over bare wires that lay concealed
We only had a weekend, impossible to extend.
 Then Sue warned me of men you dismissed
 Who were doomed to hike mountains to view what they missed
 Still I swore I could restore your perfection again
 By crossing my fingers and dropping names of my friends.
The churchyard was ancient, we were drinking wine, trees were turning red
 Baby,oh baby, it's cold, let's get warm instead.
 There was only one thing to fear in that place
 Our eyes might do less talking in coming days
 The cold was too real, I didn't know what to feel
 So my heart kept its eyes peeled
 For safer places to lay down its sword and shield
We only had a weekend, sundown was brilliant at the end
 You proudly proclaimed a toast to heartbreak and fame,
 The words were sublime but brave just the same
 Then you said you felt fine, like when you were eleven or ten
 And someone should take pictures before the light changed again
