Darren Hanlon - Winter Takes Fall lyrics

Today I left my house in shorts But now I'm having second thoughts Something's not the same The wind just called my name So I stop to look around Maybe it was just sleight of sound It's just me and my bare knees Powerlines and trees But one hint is more than enough It starts with a sniffle and a cough When posters have stopped falling off my wall The winter takes fall All of these past regrets Are faded signs of missing pets It's time for moving on Everyone else has gone Eyes a red pattern like the labyrinthine streets of Cairo Feeling as used as a bank biro My cylinder inside Has dried Warmer months I'm more at home It's easier to be alone Why don't I just pick up the phone and call? The winter k**s fall And all of these fledglings that you've found And given homes Will hunger for the new And colourful A signal from your eyes could save me They shone like car keys to a baby Should I settle for romance? Or practice disco dance These gatherings are fraught with dangers The conversation chops and changes I wish us away in our mangers A crowded room but total strangers all The winter takes fall
