Lyrics When Winter Comes Around - The Lemon Twigs

There's a leaf that returns in the fall
That no one can recall
When winter comes around
Its shape once so clear in our mind
In an instant left behind
When the snow touches the ground

Where did it go?
Well, someone must know
But no one makes a sound

There's a leaf that returns in the fall
That no one can recall
When winter comes around

There's a voice divides the plane
Sends it back from where it came
To the cradle of its birth
Grief has consumed our eyes
And filled our bed with lies
Like soil fills the earth

Abandoned, denied
Like a dead man out of mind
No one trails the hearse

There's a voice divides the plane
Sends it back from where it came
To the cradle of its birth

Go back from where you came
Though you're bound to wake up again

There's a sea so deep and wide
It speaks from every side
So all the sailors hear

It's time to return to shore
I can't hold you anymore
But they come back every year
Swallowed alive by a rising tide
As if it wasn't clear

There's a sea so deep and wide
It speaks from every side
So all the sailors hear
Swallowed alive by a rising tide
Their bodies wet and drowned

There's a leaf that returns in the fall
That no one can recall
When winter comes around
