Hidden Track Lyrics
I am an old and sleepy house
but I stand among the trees
That weave their crooked arms above the path
Which winds it's way over the ground
That's who, now I can't see
Cause the moon is gone and everything is black
Forever's fresh and restless
It cannot find a speed
And autumn chill chases summer into the past
The sun is sleeping longer
I've noticed that the leaves
Are giving up the view that they knew wouldn't last
Because tonight, it smells like rain
The creeks have begun to stretch their banks
And the lights have left, it reminds me
How you would sit by the fire place
And you would read all night
In the chair with the tall sides
And the flickering light
And we would both feel so warm
So loved
So alive
So alive
But tonight my floors are quiet
They don't groan and they don't creak
And the candles are still asleep inside the drawer
There was a noise down the dark hallway
The one you thought was so scary
You would sit, afraid you forgot to lock the door
The fear would fade as sudden as it afraid
And you would be so content with everything...
but I stand among the trees
That weave their crooked arms above the path
That's who, now I can't see
Cause the moon is gone and everything is black
It cannot find a speed
And autumn chill chases summer into the past
I've noticed that the leaves
Are giving up the view that they knew wouldn't last
The creeks have begun to stretch their banks
And the lights have left, it reminds me
How you would sit by the fire place
And you would read all night
In the chair with the tall sides
And the flickering light
And we would both feel so warm
So loved
So alive
So alive
They don't groan and they don't creak
And the candles are still asleep inside the drawer
There was a noise down the dark hallway
The one you thought was so scary
You would sit, afraid you forgot to lock the door
The fear would fade as sudden as it afraid
And you would be so content with everything...

...that you were and there was something in that quiet when it was only you and me and now i'm scared that it may be gone forever
because it's been so long since that tall chair has had any company and the fire place is cold and damp and the wind has begun winning 'cause for so long, i stood for you i fought the wind each time it blew because her face it made me (?) and now i fall each day you're gone please come back soon
