Didn't I tell you that a cold november'd come?
And deliver the leaves from green to red,
To blowing in the wind stone dead
Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmh
And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mmmhh
Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers -
Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh (in the park)
Scattered leaves don't lie
Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin'
Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered
Like every love word you heard
But that's just the way when you walk your days
In the beauty of this world
(Repeat)
Pretty little disappointments all in a row
Been about a year since you disappeared through my door
And now you come back with your head on straight,
But I got no love or hate left for you, girl
You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's son
And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done
Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain
There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now)
Repeat chorus
Don't you go looking so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned Didn't I tell you that a cold november'd come? And deliver the leaves from green to red, To blowing in the wind stone dead Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmh And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mmmhh Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers - Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh (in the park) Scattered leaves don't lie Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin' Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered Like every love word you heard But that's just the way when you walk your days In the beauty of this world (Repeat) Pretty little disappointments all in a row Been about a year since you disappeared through my door And now you come back with your head on straight, But I got no love or hate left for you, girl You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's son And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now) Repeat chorus Explain Request ×
