Flight of Falling Leaves Lyrics

Yesterday was a carpet building

Spaces filling tar beneath the trees

Through the wind like a love-locked letter

Sweet duet, the flight of falling leaves

They drift away in the thrum of autumn

Not forgotten, carried by the breeze

Half-asleep I can drift by their side

Fully capsized, hurried off with ease

So, slow down as the cradle rocks you gently off to sleep

I can kiss the ground with a new understanding

Of where I'm meant to be

Just a taste of a new adventure

All this leisure is catching up to me

Catch a train in the wrong direction

New affection, jump in to the sea

In the window there's vague instruction

Mild deduction makes it clear to me

I'll pass through to test the comfort

Just enough to shake the fallen leaves

So, slow down as the cradle rocks you gently off to sleep

I can kiss the ground with a new understanding

Of where I'm meant to be
