The Fall

She is packing in slow motion,
The sun is coming up.
I am sitting in the next room,
Staring in my coffee cup.

Now we are driving down the shoreline,
This car is cut in two.
I am quiet, and she is humming,
When the stars go blue.
And pulling up to JFK,
There really isn't much to say.
Don't tell me you'll write me,
Don't tell me you'll call,
Just tell me you'll see me in the fall.
And don't give me a promise you know you'll never keep,
Go and find it all and I'll see you in the fall.
Now I'm back at our apartment,
And nothing feels the same.
Her coat is gone,
Her toothbrush is missing,
All the flowers start to fade.
And September feels so far away.
Don't tell me you'll write me,
Don't tell me you'll call,
Just tell me you'll see me in the fall.
And don't give me a promise you know you'll never keep,
Go and find it all and I'll see you in the fall.
Let you fly over the sea,
Fate will bring you back to me,
Darling that's all we have.
Don't write,
Don't call,
I'll see you in the fall.
Don't write,
Don't call,
I'll see you in the fall.
Don't write,
Don't call,
I'll see you in the fall
Don't write,
Don't call,
I'll see you in the fall
Don't write,
Don't call,
I'll see you in the fall
Don't tell me you'll call,
Just tell me you'll see me in the fall.
And don't give me a promise you know you'll never keep,
Go and find it all and I'll see you in the fall.
