Autumn Town Leaves
Lyrics
In this autumn town where the leaves can fall On either side of the garden wall We laugh all night to keep the embers blowing Some are leaping free from their moving cars Stacking stones 'round their broken hearts Waving down any wind that might come blowing Mice move out when the field is cut Serpents curl when the sun comes up Songbirds only end up where they're going Some get rain and some get snow Some want love and some want gold I just want to see you in the morning ♪ Dogs lay down in the evening heat Fish do worse when they leave the sea Songbirds only end up where they're going In this autumn town where the lights can change Some get mercy and some get blamed Some get lost when they feel the river flowing It's all holy smoke and the flame dies fast We hold our hats while the days fly past Cold wind comes and we wait but it keeps going Father, Sons and Holy Ghosts All come back or they all come close Songbirds only end up where they're going Some get hard and some go home Some want flesh and some want bone I just want to see you in the morning Yeah, I just want to see you in the morning In this autumn town where the leaves can fall On either side of the garden wall We laugh all night to keep the embers blowing Some are leaping free from their moving cars Stacking stones 'round their broken hearts Waving down any wind that might come blowing Mice move out when the field is cut Serpents curl when the sun comes up Songbirds only end up where they're going Some get rain and some get snow Some want love and some want gold I just want to see you in the morning ♪ Dogs lay down in the evening heat Fish do worse when they leave the sea Songbirds only end up where they're going In this autumn town where the lights can change Some get mercy and some get blamed Some get lost when they feel the river flowing It's all holy smoke and the flame dies fast We hold our hats while the days fly past Cold wind comes and we wait but it keeps going Father, Sons and Holy Ghosts All come back or they all come close Songbirds only end up where they're going Some get hard and some go home Some want flesh and some want bone I just want to see you in the morning Yeah, I just want to see you in the morning In this autumn town where the leaves can fall On either side of the garden wall We laugh all night to keep the embers blowing Some are leaping free from their moving cars Stacking stones 'round their broken hearts Waving down any wind that might come blowing Mice move out when the field is cut Serpents curl when the sun comes up Songbirds only end up where they're going Some get rain and some get snow Some want love and some want gold I just want to see you in the morning ♪ Dogs lay down in the evening heat Fish do worse when they leave the sea Songbirds only end up where they're going In this autumn town where the lights can change Some get mercy and some get blamed Some get lost when they feel the river flowing It's all holy smoke and the flame dies fast We hold our hats while the days fly past Cold wind comes and we wait but it keeps going Father, Sons and Holy Ghosts All come back or they all come close Songbirds only end up where they're going Some get hard and some go home Some want flesh and some want bone I just want to see you in the morning Yeah, I just want to see you in the morning
