The Autumn Leaves Lyrics
Looked up into the television sky
Tonight
Rain wouldn't stop I couldn't dry my eyes
I cried
Why is it that you never say
... When the feeling leaves
... If you're through with me
Cold tears falling down my face
... Like the autumn leaves
... On windy day
Over bright highways where the traffic was the only sound
Around
I could see pictures of you floating all around
I didn't doubt
Why is it that you never say
... When the feeling leaves
... If you're through with me
Cold tears falling down my face
... Like the autumn leaves
... On windy day
Easily one of my favorite songs of all time. When I hear this song, I can feel the emotion well beyond the lyrics, which are rather simple. The simplicity of the lyrics, in my opinion, has an intensifying effect.
It's about loneliness, and beyond that it is indescribable- when you hear it, you get it.
ATB is the best, and this is one of his best. So emotive!
Beautiful
Kind of an "post-relationship" reflection king of thing I think is going on here (as shown by "if you're through with me" and "cold tears falling down my face like the autumn leaves on a windy day"). The "who is to blame" is also another reflection of the relationship and maybe wondering why it failed.
Anyway, it's just a beautiful song that employs a lot of imagery.
a few corrections:
I WOKE UNDER COVER of darkness
when THE feeling leaves
cold tears FALLING down my face
Over BRIGHT highways where the traffic was the only sound around While my eyes WERE looking at the ground
a beautiful song.
such a beautiful vivid song i cant even describe when i fell in love with this song, its so mystical, the chorus is simple but gets the point of feeling alone, and not really knowing what to do when you've come in to conflict that seems like it can never be fixed.
If you like this song i recommend "Wait For Your Heart" by ATB with Roberta on the same album, the instrumentals are alot alike.
RIP Michal The Girl, the singer of this song. She died quite a while ago. RIP :(
Truly one of the greatest female voices ever!
