I've locked the door,
I've made myself a little rum toddy.

And before I went to bed,
I said a prayer,
thanking God that I was independent,

But then one night an

oak leaf fell out of my Bible.

I placed it there the night you asked me to marry you, Ephraim,

a perfectly good oak leaf,
G#m
but now without color and without life.
F#
And I suddenly realized
G#m
that I was like that oak leaf.

For years I had not shed one tear,
nor been filled with a wonderful hope

So, I've decided to rejoin
the human race.

before the parade passes by.
