Song Description
Autumn Leaves is a song about a Woman approaching the Autumn of her life and how she wants to re-invent herself. She keeps thinking about how a tree becomes bare and naked every Autumn and then how it rejuvenates and blossoms every Spring. i liked the metaphor of the changes in nature that create beauty and the human desire to reverse the ageing process that nature enforces upon.

Lyrics
Autumn Leaves
1st Verse
She sheds her skin down from the sky
Falling leaves, watch them fly
To shine again
She has to fade away
She slides her dress down to the ground
And as it falls you won't hear a sound
She slowly turns
Her face in to the wind
Chorus
Autumn leaves are raining down
Autumn leaves are raining down
Autumn leaves are raining down
Autumn leaves are raining down, down, down
2nd Verse
The evening Sun lays her to bare
The winter calls but she won't care
To shine again
She has to fade away
Beneath her feet lies a dress of gold
The morning mist, it feels so cold
She slowly turns
Her face into the wind
Chorus
Autumn leaves are raining down
Autumn leaves are raining down
Autumn leaves are raining down
Autumn leaves are raining
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
