It was the summer that never arrived
And the rains came day after day on the ground
She arrived in my life unexpected
And I felt I wanted her around

The days grew cold
Leaves turning crimson, brown and gold

December came in with the wind
And the fix that I'm in is a Christmas parade
Wasn't given the choice to convince her the truth
And my voice ain't a broken charade

She takes me in
I give her cash and I leave again

She's my lady of the afternoon
I rise and she surprises me
She's my lady of the afternoon
Whoa-oh

There's a change in the wind and the season begins
So I took myself out for a drive
But I let her win and she flashed me a grin
And I found myself barely alive

The wind blew cold
The sun went down and it turned to gold

Chorus x 2

In the morning when I see you
With the makeup running down your face
And the tears are slowly fading from your eyes

I look into the mirror
See the man that I'm suposed to be
Then I leave him here with you and wave goodbye

Chorus x 2

Oh Lady you wave goodbye
