Autumn Town Leaves

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In this autumn town where the leaves can fall On either side of the garden wall We laugh all night to keep the embers glowing [Verse 2] Some are leaping free from their moving cars Stacking stones 'round their broken hearts Waving down any wind that might come blowing [Chorus 1] Mice move out when the field is cut Serpents curl when the sun comes up Songbirds only end up where they're going [Verse 3] Some get rain and some get snow Some want love and some want gold I just want to see you in the morning [Chorus 2] Dogs lay down in the evening heat Fish do worse when they leave the sea Songbirds only end up where they're going [Verse 4] In this autumn town where the lights can change Some get mercy and some get blame Some get lost when they feel the river flowing [Verse 5] It's all holy smoke and the flame dies fast We hold our hats while the days fly past Cold wind comes and we wave but it keeps going [Chorus 3] Fathers, Sons and Holy Ghosts All come back or they all come close Songbirds only end up where they're going [Verse 6] Some get hard and some go home Some want flesh and some want bone I just want to see you in the morning [Outro] Yeah, I just want to see you in the morning
