Lyric

Coffee going cold by the window

Sweater sleeves pulled over my hands

Your name written small in the fog there

Fades quicker than I planned

Autumn leaves keep falling like our secret plans

Colors on the sidewalk

Slipping from my hands

You said

“Call me when the trees are bare”

Now I’m standing in the chill

And you’re not there

Autumn leaves

And so do you

I keep raking up the pieces

Wishing they were you

Found your ticket stub in my pocket

From that movie we left halfway through

We laughed at everything and nothing

Now the joke’s on me

I guess it’s true

Autumn leaves keep falling like our secret plans

Colors on the sidewalk

Slipping from my hands

You said

“Call me when the trees are bare”

Now I’m standing in the chill

And you’re not there

Autumn leaves

And so do you

I keep raking up the pieces

Wishing they were you

Every gust pulls one more memory loose

Spins it ‘round my street

Lands it at my shoes

I whisper your name into the wind (Oh)

But it carries it away again

Autumn leaves keep falling like our secret plans

Colors on the sidewalk

Slipping from my hands

You said

“Call me when the trees are bare”

Now I’m walking home alone through empty air

Autumn leaves

And so did you

Guess the season did exactly what it’s meant to do
