Whom Do You Love

[Verse 1]
Whom do you love?
Whom do you love?
Why is it so hard to say?
One day you're mine
The next day so blind
As if love could be just blown away
A full flowered field and an apple tree's yield
Were fine as the summer was long
But a chill on the wind and the clouds gathering
Say perhaps I have stayed here too long

[Verse 2]
As a matter of course
I saddled my horse
Rode into the town one fine night
I scrubbed off the dirt
I bought a new shirt
Headed down where the lights were so bright
A fine western tune, after a turn or two
She turned and she kissed me so hard
And the cards were all stacked when we wandered out back
To where the night was so clear and so starred

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, a full flowered dress
Is no more or less
The same colors as the leaves of fall
One day they're here
The next disappear
'Til there is nothing here left at all
And black against gray as the bare branches sway
Time to move on, the old timers say
I untied my horse took the road to the north
Did not turn to look back or delay

[Outro]
Whom do you love?
Whom do you love?
Why is it so hard to say?
