Watch the silver fall Watch the silver fall Tape up all the windows And wrap around my neck Mercury falls, like skin from a bone Mercury falls, since you been gone This ugly time of year When people disappear With everybody gone Don't you get sick alone Look at the sky, go back inside And turn the corner into the night It's such a pretty time of year The silver falls the silver shear Every time we say next time And every year we say next year Watch each other for a sign And spend another winter here Watch the silver falls, watch the silver falls
