Snakecharmer - Falling Leaves lyrics

Came down like a heatwave Lifting steam from morning rain Thought I'd never leave Thought I'd never move again Bore down like a freight train Earth a-tremble 'neath my feet When the moment comes All defence is obsolete As the night it falls I lay my head to sleep Walk beside her All her secrets mine to keep But when the morning comes My hopes and dreams Rain down like falling leaves No words from the preacher Gonna pull me from my fate Once the clouds rolled by Now they seem to congregate She wanted for nothing Now I've nothing left to give What use is a daydream If those dreams don't want to live? I'll try to be strong but I see All the good that was taken from me But you know I'll never breathe a word Nothing not fortune or fame Guarantees you a win in this game You just have to pay them where they fall
