Autumn Leaves Revisited (Demo)

the leaves will fall and so will you when you do bury me under them, too seconds pass, I'll make it through eventually we'll all go home

it wont be long (x2)

I'll leave here for good. He's been waiting. Seven months left ‘til they bring home our baby. He swore he was paying for school. They shipped him over. Now he studders on the fine lines. He swore he would follow his conscience. The daughter only follows his orders instead. When he shoots, he sings a song. He doesn't know that she's been singing it too. it wont be long it wont be long till we find our way home

We walk along the wall, tied between horizons you close your eyes like it's nothing at all Throughout the rise and fall everything, everything changes I will be here when you die

Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died? Did violins swell those circles under your eyes? Did you play the part straight like a march, or get lost in the beat, thinking and feeling?

Did the drums in the street make the people dance? Or fall to their knees from the sound? Knock the leaves from the trees and fall from the branch; they were beautiful as they hung in the air

spinning around did you follow me... spinning around.

There must be somewhere that cigarettes burn through the night the leaves don’t abandon their trees to the light Where the skies always clear and the summer never ends

wont you take me there?

The leaves will fall and so will you when you do bury me under them too seconds pass, well make it through eventually, we all are going home

...and done

Sorry, I feel like a dick doing that. I had them for so long and wanted to put them up.

On the side note, this song is about the father's daughter after he died in war. It's like she never knew her father. And she wants to be anywhere besides this hateful world.

fixed

I'm sorry that is so wrong.

The leaves will fall And so will you When you do, bury me under them too Seconds pass, we'll make it through Eventually we all go home

It wont be long…it won’t be long

I live with a girl whos been waiting seven months now til they bring home her baby This war was paying for school. They shipped him over now he scatters on the frontlines He swore he would follow his conscience. But done the wrong way follows his orders instead When he shoots, he sings this song. But he doesnt know that she's been singing it too

It wont be long It won’t be long til they find their way home.

We walk along the wire Tied between horizons You close your eyes like its nothing at all Throughout the rise and fall everything, everything changes I will be here when you die.

Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died? Did the violin swell those circles under your eyes? Did you play the parts straight like a marcher Or did you get lost in the beat, thinking and feeling? Did the drums in the street make the people dance or fall to their knees from the sound Now the leaves from the tree's they fall from the branch They look beautiful as they hung in the air Spinning around Did you float in the air. Spinning around.

There must be somewhere that cigarettes burn through the night. The leaves don’t abandon their trees to the light. Where the skies always clear, and the summer never ends. Won’t you take me there?

The leaves will fall And so will you When you do, bury me under them too Seconds pass, we'll make it through Eventually, we all are going home

Minus the capitalization corrections, I still say you suck.

I think this song is a masterpiece. I love this song. The instruments seem to actually mean something emotionally, while in most songs they are simply accomapanyment to the lyrics. Anyways.... "They shipped him over. Now he studders on the fine lines." that line of the other verse is still correct, while the rest of what promiseofdreams has is correct, except for "But done the wrong way" that doesn't flow very well, but is close, but "daughter only" is just wrong

He can sign up for the Military to pay for school, but studder on the finelines, as the young soldier may have not anticipated actually killing someone( which was the finelines), so he refused to kill conscienously, but to preserve his own life shot anyway. Seven months is a tour of duty more than likely so it's bring home her baby, (her son)

The tracklist for the new album, A City by the Light Diveded, is out and it includes a song called "Autumn Leaves Revisited", which is almost certainly this song.

I think this song is amazing.

Eventhough I think instead of "They shipped him over. Now he studders on the fine lines." it's "They shipped him over. Now he studies on the front lines."

This song amazingly expresses how the war affects so many more people than just the soldier...it also comes across like Geoff is against War, just by the fact he inserts moral strife. The guy closes his eyes like it's nothing at all...because it is something...people shouldn't be killing people.

I love this song.

I can't wait to hear Autumn Leaves Revisited, if they improved this already perfect song like they did ATV, i will expect to be floored.
