Black Leaf Falls

It weighs too much this time
My hands are broken
She’ll disappear again
Before we’ve spoken
The night we took that year
In Black Leaf Falls
All of the trees were bare
Next to the dance hall

I saw you outside
The bathroom stalls
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You leaned your hip against
Against the wall
I’d love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls

Her perfume was so
I smell it still
I put her leaf upon
The window sill
I found it there today
Its color gone
It’s in the water now
It’s been too too long

I saw you outside
The bathroom stall
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You leaned your hip against
Against the wall
I’d love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls

I’ll fall asleep tonight
See where they take me
Fly with the maple seeds
See if she wakes me

I saw you outside
The bathroom stalls
You were just standing there
Out in the hall
You turned your eyes to me
I felt it all
I’d love you anywhere
But Black Leaf Falls
Oh, Black Leaf Falls
