Autumn Leaves Revisited

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
'Til we find our way home

Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died?
Did the violins swell those circles under your eyes?
Did you play the part straight like a marcher
Or get lost in the beat thinking and feeling?

Did the drums in the street make the people dance
Or fall to their knees as the sound knocked the leaves
From the trees and they fall from the branch?
They were beautiful as they hung in the air

Spinning around
Did you float in the air?
Spinning around

There must be somewhere where cigarettes burn through the night
And the leaves don't abandon their trees to the light
Sky's always clear, summer never ends

Won't you take me home?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

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
