The Leaves Of Autumn Fall

The warmth of day along the skyline Waiting to cover the realm in caramel rays The birds begin to sing, trees wave to the sun And the graphite clouds sail the horizon The world awakens and the ether swelters in life Arouses the dreams and hopes of all that can be The world is born For it's the start of another flaxen dawn

Bluebird 04:12
Open up the door one morning Wince at the sun shining in my eyes Rays of light in the air Hit my face and bring my soul so free Mr Bluebird sings me a song just like he used to do Doo-doo-do-doo-do-doo-do-doo Mr Bluebird says to me just what he has to say Hey hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey Another day has to pass Maybe I can ask the green green grass But it just sits and waits the rain Has nothing to do and nothing else to say Mr Bluebird sings me a song just like he used to do Doo-doo-do-doo-do-doo-do-doo Mr Bluebird says to me just what he has to say Hey hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey Mr Bluebird telle me one more thing Enjoy the sun and everything You don't know what is next Maybe a girl or another piece of bread Mr Bluebird sings me a song just like he used to do Doo-doo-do-doo-do-doo-do-doo Mr Bluebird says to me just what he has to say Hey hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey

Days pass and the wind swirls round A blizzard of leaves from off the ground Rustle and bustle I do recall It's the leaves of autumn fall Elysian fields of glowing reds A winter's day the leaves a bed Reds and greens, yellows and all It's the leaves of autumn fall Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo-doo, oooooh Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo It's the leaves of autumn fall Van Dyke brown and harvest sounds Shattered skies I see throughout Whispers from trees I hear the call it's the leaves of autumn fall Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo-doo, ooooh Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo It's the leaves of autumn fall Arabian leaves wish about I'm not sure if that's allowed Days pass and the wind swirls round A blizzard of leaves from off the ground Rustle and bustle I do recall It's the leaves of autumn fall Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo-dooh, ooooh Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo It's the leaves of autumn fall

I see trees around me, swaying in the air I sees leaves forming the bark likes to wear Watching blossom growing, creating its own share I see grass shaking, seeming it's so rare I see heavens falling I see heavens falling I see it falling in the air I see heavens falling I see heavens falling I see it falling in the air Blackbirds fly around me under shadows of the trees Everything glows around me, some dark and some are free I see heavens falling I see heavens falling I see it falling in the air I see heavens falling I see heavens falling I see it falling in the air Do you still see the sparks in the rain? Do you still think that I'm to blame? Do you know I still need you? Do you feel so blue? I see heavens falling I see heavens falling I see it falling in the air I see heavens falling I see heavens falling I see it falling in the air

The morning has set in stone Like a heavy rock in water Rays of light have awoken life And the trees stand tall to control their domain Squirrels skip and birds gossip while feeding their brood Woodland harmonises around the warmth of rays And the river tricklets its name into the earth Making its way to the bigger world All too much for a man to stand alone He gets lost on his way to find an answer to his question Is he so different?
6.
I'm suspended by my mind Feel nothing but your life Creeping forward straight at me Out of dust it must be Fight away the golden curse Keep it flat so I won't burst Making sure I can't be hurt Loving my way, safe from the dirt Over and over, over again Over and over the stars are my friends Crashes of thunder round my head I'm so close, so close to my death Bolts of lightning fly at my eyes It's the world that hears my cries Over and over, over again Over and over the stars are my friends
7.
I ask the Neverman where can I be? Only to find it's not what it seems He says 'Don't worry son' The stars and rain will guide you on your way You will be safe but do not stray Just follow that path I'm so tangled up inside I feel so alien like I'm so tangled up inside I feel so alien like Neverman The Neverman is on my mind I can't leave him behind He told me all he knows, he came from life It's flown by so fast I'm so tangled up inside I feel so alien like I'm so tangled up inside I feel so alien like Neverman I'm so tangled up inside I feel so alien like I'm so tangled up inside I feel so alien like

Orange Moon 03:42
Settles on wispy stones Hiding behind trees of steel Can you see it shine for you? It's the man shining his torch from the moon Orange shadow deepens the night Hanging in the air like a pumpkin light Can you see it shine in space? It's the man on the moon showing his face Orange moon talks to the night I'm going round in circles all my life Orange moon talks to the night I'm going round in circles all my life Oh can you hear me Neverman? Yeah I'm finding my own way Oh can you hear me Neverman? Orange moon talks to the night I'm going round in circles all my life Orange moon talks to the night I'm going round in circles all my life

Breaking out in a sweat in the morning time You think everything is fine But it's not Looking through the sheets on the washing line You think everything is fine But it's not Hope you find what you want, put it back in time 'Cause I just don't think you're fine Take my hand and we'll see if things take their cost I just want us to be Breaking out in a sweat in the evening time I'm glad everything is fine Now Looking through the sheets in the evening time I'm glad everything is fine Now Hope you find what you want, put it back in time 'Cause I just don't think you're fine Take my hand and we'll see if things take their cost I just want us to be Hope is what you wanted I'm sure you'll see That you'll leave this all behind Hope you find what you want, put it back in time 'Cause I just don't think you're fine Take my hand and we'll see if things take their cost I just want us to be I just want us to be

From melting orange into the black nebuary He stares into the face of whoever may look back Thousands of twinkling eyes pass their judgement On the question he asks Each with their own story to tell The curiosity of a man who may be lost is concluded And his wisdom of all can only be passed By understanding the morals of life And the individual traits of each and every person The passing night has told its story And the answers he seeks are as clear as a flaxen dawn
