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
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
