Under the autumn leaves
I found to my surprise
The rings we wore in summer s**
And the flowers were still alive
They say that our own bodies
Are made of bones and dust
And how we lie 'neath the maple tree
And pray that the leaves don't cover us, oh
Our hearts were beating
Like hummingbirds that night
A restless wind blew them open
As the birds were taking flight
Young hearts are bright
And just as light
And blowing in the air tonight
She said I want to believe
That we can laugh, but I know that it's tough
When you're lost in the leaves
And I'm in no rush
But if we try to unite then we might just turn back into dust
It's only natural for us
Walking through this old town
I'm reminded
Of all the trees that we tore down
To let the sunshine in
We buried our beating hearts
Under the rocks and dirt
And now mine is filled with the fallen leaves
And if you're not here it's gonna burst, oh
Our hearts were beating
Like hummingbirds that night
A restless wind blew them open
As the birds were taking flight
Young hearts are bright
And just as light
And blowing in the air tonight
