about

Autumn is just like that.

lyrics

days are getting shorter
the leaves are coming down
autumn melancholy
sneaks softly into town
i have lost all sense of spring
i have tied my feelings down
but if my thoughts could take to wing
they'd migrate to your little town

and they'll wake you in the nighttime
roused from slumber staring at the moon
you may feel my restless spirit
somewhere in your shadowed room
some things are better left unsaid
some things are better left for dead
ghosts of dreams can turn your head
away from living

nights are getting longer
rains are coming down
and they're wrapped
around steamy dreams and regrets
in red brick espresso cafes downtown
with sketchbooks and journals
elaborate artistic disguise
no rationale no reason needed
i see the red-rimmed eyes

and they wake in the nighttime
roused from slumber staring at the moon
try and send their restless spirits to some distant shadowed room...
some things are better left unsaid
some things are better left for dead
ghosts of dreams can turn your head
away from living

raining still at midnight
no one on the streets as i finally head for home
i sang one for you tonight
and funny how it shook so many others to the bone
the shy and unrequited,
those that finally fell apart at frayed and fragile seams
they pick up the pieces & the pictures
the letters and memories of disembodied dreams

and they wake in the nighttime
roused from slumber staring at the moon
try and send their restless spirits to some distant shadowed room...
some things are better left unsaid
some things are better left for dead
ghosts of dreams can turn your head
away from living

crystal fall morning
the world is washed in amber and red
time and seasons turning
l have chased that phantom
from my head
sometimes i wake in the nighttime
roused from slumber
staring at the moon
i can feel my restless spirit
seeking your sultry shadowed room
some things are better left unsaid
some things are better left for dead
ghosts of dreams can turn your head
away from living
ghosts of dreams try to turn my head
away from living
