Letra de Drains to the Mississippi

So where did August go?
The leaves are shriveled up and dead
What started yellow
Has turned to gray, I turned you red
I was suffocating, so
I took a breath and let you go
You left me leaning, I spent the evening
Pounding sand with pounding head
I woke up to the rain and it won't be the same
And it won't be the same here without you
So goodbye and good luck, know it won't be the same
And it won't be the same and it won't be the same
I was kinda drunk that night, you know
And now I'm outside kicking stones
And getting drunk on grief, down and incomplete
Walking Carson Street alone
The summer heat, it grabbed me by
The neck and hung me out to dry
Dropping into cold, twist my fists in folds
Of my winter clothes
I'm going home
To an empty room
To a cave on Orchard Road
Absurd fucking world
Feel like dropping dead
But I laugh instead
Dumb guy, smart girl
