Lyrics Autumn - Philip Labes

Autumn
How I missed you baby
Hiding in the oak tree
When everything was green

Autumn
Sunset's coming early
We walk back with no hurry
Crunching all the leaves

We watch it fade away
To nothing
We watch it fade away
To blue

Wake up now, the whole world is a cherry
Don't fall asleep, there's so much left to see
It's easy to forget it's temporary
Autumn, thanks for reminding me

Autumn
In your arms of wool and denim
Could you trap me the resin
And never let me leave

Autumn
Someday in our faces
Will only be the traces
Of who we used to be

They'll watch us fade away
To nothing
They'll watch us fade away
To blue

Wake up now, the whole world is a cherry
Don't fall asleep, there's so much left to see
It's easy to forget it's temporary
Autumn, thanks for reminding me

Autumn
Now that I'm much older
I still lean against your shoulder
You listen through the tears

Autumn
I know you must be going
I guess that there's no knowing
If I'll see you next year

I watch you fade away
To nothing
You'll watch me fade away
To blue

Wake up now, the whole world is a cherry
Don't fall asleep, there's so much left to see
It's easy to forget it's temporary
Autumn, thanks for reminding me

You say "It feels good to age
And to step off of the stage
It's a sting from a honeybee"

You say "Once you leave the tree
You'll float right down here to me
In a pile of infinity"
