Just in Time (To Watch Love Die)

by david allan coe and jimmy townsend

threes a stack of daily papers on her doorstep

and the grass has grown up more than she'd allow

yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation

never knew that i'd miss her until now

from both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter

guess she saw the flame i tried so hard to hide

looks like im the one that got caught in the middle

burnt my finger

i got there just in time to watch love die

yea, i got there just in time to watch love die

there's a change of address blank inside the mailbox

and the key shed usually leave for me not here

yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation

guess i should have known i would not find her here

from both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter

i guess she saw the flame i tried so hard to hide

looks like im the one that got caught in the middle

burnt my finger

i got there just in time to watch love die

but i got there much to late to say goodbye.
