Freakwater - When The Leaves Begin To Fall lyrics

When the leaves begin to fall When the leaves begin to fall Faded rays of sunlight bend low, too weak to crawl Where the last one crying burns the last before the fire And the children of the dying hold a matchbook to the pyre A river of tears drown the last ember's glow When the cold winds blow and the leaves begin to fall When the leaves begin to fall When the leaves begin to fall Where the beauty of the season turns to gray and ashen white In shattered rooms lit only by the moon and stars at night Shine down from above on the sorrow below No reason to stay and nowhere to go When the cold winds blow and the leaves begin to fall Turned down turned away and lost Into the fire your fortunes have been tossed As we rock all our babies to sleep And sing of sweet dreams Sing on the ocean wide and deep So close your eyes my little darling You're in my arms The world won't turn The ice won't freeze And the hunger won't burn When the leaves begin to fall When the leaves begin to fall Will the sky above our heads be shelter for us all A pillow of stone and a blanket of snow When the cold winds blow and the leaves begin to fall When the cold winds blow and the leaves begin to fall
