Lyrics

Watching leaves

I sit and wait for her at her favorite counter
Looking east to a sunrise like I wished our life together mattered
But she doesn?t show again
It?s like going to a movie and the projector?s broken

But dropping like wild confetti at a party
And sailing to me and away like little boats that float

The leaves are falling
The winter?s coming again
You left me hanging
You left me in the cold again
This watching leaves is like watching you leave again
Oh that?s the way it feels sitting here all alone
Watching leaves

Forgiving her and needing her like trains need tracks for connecting
I'll sit another 20 minutes, I?ll be serving all my loving
Then like a candle does expire, I?ll let this hope retire
But for now I?m watching time, Looking for the connection down the line

And floating in the sky way up high like color creations from spin machines
Landing quietly as fingers saying shush at the libraries

The leaves are falling
And the winter?s coming again
You left me hanging
You left me in the cold again
This watching leaves is like watching you leave again
That?s the way it feels to me when I?m sitting here all alone
Watching leaves
