Lyrics:

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 won’t be long

It won’t be long



We walk along the wire 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



It won’t be long

It won’t be long

Until we find our way home



Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died?

Did a violin swell those circles under your eyes?

Did you play the part straight, like a marcher?

Get lost in the beat, thinking and feeling

Did the drums in the streets make the people dance?

Or fall to their knees as the sound?

Knock the leaves from the trees

As they fall from the branch, the 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

And 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

So will you

When you do, bury me

Under them too

Seconds pass; we’ll make it through



Eventually we all are going home
