Lyrics

[00:00.000] If You Were Coming In The Fall
[00:07.130] I'd brush the summer by
[00:09.900] With half a smile and half a spurn,
[00:14.250] As housewives do, a fly.If I could see you in a year,
[00:25.950] As housewives do, a fly.If I could see you in a year,
[00:28.400] I'd wind the months in balls,
[00:30.460] And put them each in separate drawers,
[00:35.190] For fear the numbers fuseIf only centuries delayed,
[00:46.430] For fear the numbers fuseIf only centuries delayed,
[00:48.450] I'd count them on my hand,
[00:51.330] Subtracting till my fingers dropped
[00:53.520] Into Van Dieman's land.If certain, when this life was out,
[00:56.660] Into Van Dieman's land.If certain, when this life was out,
[00:58.690] That yours and mine should be,
[01:01.630] I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
[01:04.599] And take eternity.But now, uncertain of the length
[01:14.850] And take eternity.But now, uncertain of the length
[01:16.730] Of this, that is between,
[01:19.100] It goads me, like the goblin bee,
[01:24.390] That will not state its sting.
[01:35.580] For fear the numbers fuseIf only centuries delayed,
[01:37.410] I'd count them on my hand,
[01:40.560] Subtracting till my fingers dropped
[01:42.880] Into Van Dieman's land.If certain, when this life was out,
[01:45.830] Into Van Dieman's land.If certain, when this life was out,
[01:47.550] That yours and mine should be,
[01:50.670] I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
[01:52.750] And take eternity.But now, uncertain of the length
[02:05.920] I'd brush the summer by
[02:08.720] With half a smile and half a spurn,
[02:12.950] As housewives do, a fly.If I could see you in a year,
[02:17.340] If You Were Coming In The Fall
[02:45.240] For fear the numbers fuseIf only centuries delayed,
[02:47.700] I'd count them on my hand,
[02:50.340] Subtracting till my fingers dropped
[02:52.500] Into Van Dieman's land.If certain, when this life was out,
[02:55.579] Into Van Dieman's land.If certain, when this life was out,
[02:57.360] That yours and mine should be,
[03:00.130] I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
[03:02.400] And take eternity.But now, uncertain of the length
[03:05.910] If You Were Coming In The Fall
[03:15.800] I'd brush the summer by
[03:18.570] With half a smile and half a spurn,
[03:23.540] As housewives do, a fly.If I could see you in a year,
[03:26.220] If You Were Coming In The Fall
