|
I saw the autumn leaves |
|
Peel up off the street |
|
Take wing on the balmy breeze |
|
And sweep you off your feet |
|
And you blushed as they scooped you up |
|
On sugar maple wings |
|
To gaze down on the city below |
|
Ablaze with wondrous things |
|
Downy feathers kiss your face |
|
And flutter everywhere |
|
Reality is a lovely place |
|
But I wouldn't want to live there |
|
I wouldn't want to live there |
|
Weighed down by heavy lids and lunar lullabies |
|
I knew you were wide awake |
|
'Cause you smile with your eyes |
|
Downy feathers kiss your face |
|
And flutter everywhere |
|
Reality is a lovely place |
|
But I wouldn't want to live there |
|
From the green belt balcony |
|
The wildfires look so pretty |
|
Ponderosa canopy |
|
I'd never leave if it were up to me |
|
To the ruby redwood tree |
|
And to the velvet climbing ivy: |
|
Painted all mahogany |
|
I'd never leave if it were up to me |
|
(If it were up to me) |
|
With a starry brush |
|
Paint the dusk venetian blue |
|
'Cause in the evening hush |
|
You'll never believe the view |
|
And when the leaves return |
|
And their whisperings fill the night |
|
They'll freeze and burn where fire and ice collide |
|
Where fire and ice collide |
|
Can you feel a silk embrace in the satin air? |
|
If we dissolve without a trace |
|
Will the real world even care? |
|
Downy feathers kiss your face |
|
And flutter everywhere |
|
Reality is a lovely place |
|
But I wouldn't want to live there |
|
I wouldn't want to live there |
|
I saw the autumn leaves |
|
Peel up off the street |
|
Take wing on the balmy breeze |
|
And sweep you off your feet |
