Lyrics

There’s a notch in a tree on a mountain
Words with a heart as a frame
I dug it in deep cause I meant it
I meant every word that I said
But years cut down even the strong oak
And promises carved in a tree
Still ain’t as good as a white dress
They just don’t compare to a ring

So fairly well sweet darling
I hope that your lover is a friend
Hope you never get stuck with a heart ache
Honey now this is the end

I walked in the shades of the night
Bathed in the light of the moon
It smelled like mid-summer’s romance
And letters you sent with perfume

But some people don’t change till it’s too late
And some people never forgive
Sometimes there ain’t no good answer
Some people can never be friends

So fairly well sweet darling
I send this to you with a kiss
I never did mean to hurt you baby
Honey now this is the end

So fairly well sweet darling
Honey we were just kids
And kids don’t know what is sacred
Honey now this is the end

You threw your verdict down
Said I was guilty and it’s true
But in crimes of broken vows
Honey you were guilty too
So I lay my armor down
And I’m calling for a truce
Might be the last to leave
But I’m letting go of you

So fairly well sweet darling
I hope it ain’t hard to pretend
That love is a bed full of roses
Honey now this is the end
