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 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 ooh

And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot oooh

Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers

Sweat jumpin off of the skin of love givers mmh

Well now scattered leaves don’t lie

Ah now baby baby quit your cryin

Cos everything that ever mattered scit-scat scattered

Like every love word you heard

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 from my door

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 ah what’s done is done

I’ve been claimed by the wind and the rain

And I ain’t goin’ back naw I ain’t goin’ back again

Well now scattered leaves don’t lie...
