Scattered Leaves

Don't you go looking so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned

Didn't I tell you that a cold November'd come?

And deliver the leaves from green to red,

To blowing in the wind stone dead

Well I never used to notice this awful quiet

And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot

Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers

Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers (in the park)

Scattered leaves don't lie

Aw now baby, baby, quit your cryin'

Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered

Like every love word you heard

But that's just the way when you walk your days

In the beauty of this world

Scattered leaves don't lie

Aw now baby, baby, quit your cryin'

Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered

Like every love word you heard

But that's just the way when you walk your days

In the beauty of this world

Pretty little disappointments all in a row

Been about a year since you disappeared through my door

And now you come back with your head on straight,

But I got no love or hate left for you, girl

You must be the daughter of the late, late rose, I'm November's son

And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done

Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain

There ain't no going back, nah there ain't no going back again (for us now)

Scattered leaves don't lie

Aw now baby, baby, quit your cryin'

Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered

Like every love word you heard

But that's just the way when you walk your days

In the beauty of this world

Scattered leaves don't lie

Aw now baby, baby, quit your cryin'

Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered

Like every love word you heard

But that's just the way when you walk your days

In the beauty of this world
