Autumn Leaves Lyrics

Her love was the burn

My heart was the blister

From the second I kissed her

In my dreams

To awake

Without her there

And to go on with life

Without seeming to care.

Reaching for her

Like earth to a star

Falling for you

I do from afar

God waves the feather

I take the bait

A gift from the ether

Before it's too late

For this is a dream

And soon I'll awake

For love isn't real

Save me the heartache

Rip out our hearts and laugh like thieves

Cursed be the mind for what it perceives

Cleanse my soul before it grieves

For I will fall when Autumn leaves

I'm sorry I'm unsteady

I thought I'd be ready

To be there and charm you for life

But instead I regret it

Though I never said it

When we felt alive in the night

With you in my sight and your skin is pale white

And your stare pierced my soul like a knife

And the winds were just right. A moment of finding beauty

Lost in darkness returning to light.

For this is a dream

And soon I'll awake

For love isn't real

Save me the heartache

Rip out our hearts, and laugh like thieves

Cursed be the mind for what it perceives

Cleanse my soul before it grieves

For I will fall when Autumn leaves.

I miss when we dreamed and looked up at the skies

When I look back now with my teardrop eyes

All and all we did our part

As I slowly die of a broken heart

Wah-oh, oh-oh-oh

Rip out our hearts, and laugh like thieves

Cursed be the mind for what it perceives

Cleanse my soul before it grieves

For I will fall when Autumn leaves

I miss when we dreamed and looked up at the skies

When I look back now with my teardrop eyes

All and all we did our part

As I slowly die of a broken heart

Oh no
