Della Mae - Jamie Dear Lyrics

(C. Woodsmith)

The sun sets at quarter ‘till 4
The snow is a'piling at my door
Snowed in but I don’t seem mind
What I needed was a little bit of time
To put the letters that you wrote me in the fire
Oh and they ain’t comin back

Where did you go my Jaime dear
Sittin by the window with a single tear
Swamps on fire and the leather leaf
Is burnin like the letters that you send to me
Where did you go my darling May
Set like the sun on a winters day
Cold front frost on the window pane
Bottle of whiskey and a pile of shame

If I had a space for my gloom
There wouldn’t be big enough a room
All that snow outside my door
And all I expected was a little more
Love from you, but I got shown the door
Oh and I ain’t comin back

Where did you go my Jaime dear
Sittin by the window with a single tear
Swamps on fire and the leather leaf
Is burnin like the letters that you send to me
Where did you go my darling May
Set like the sun on a winters day
Cold front frost on the window pane
Bottle of whiskey and a pile of shame

By the time that spring rolls around
My heart will have melted off the ground
I’ll throw out the ashes from the stove
Bits of your letters and things that I let go
try to keep myself moving on the road
Oh and I ain’t comin back

Where did you go my Jaime dear
Sittin by the window with a single tear
Swamps on fire and the leather leaf
Is burnin like the letters that you send to me
Where did you go my darling May
Set like the sun on a winters day
Cold front frost on the window pane
Bottle of whiskey and a pile of shame
