Leaves in the River

I met a girl on Halloween
 Well, she was lost and I was drunk
 And it was dark and cold out, when we left
 And as we walked, the rain started, the leaves off them
 With every step and all around us
 People slept alone with dreams
 ♪
 The wind came down, from out the planes
 And blew the leaves out through the streets
 I wondered how far leaves could really fly
 Would they rest in several yards
 Or make it to the city
 Or would they end up in the river, just to float away?
 She pointed to a small brick house
 And said, it was where she grew up
 The lights were out, she asked if we could stop for a while
 Her hair was still just getting wet
 The water running down her neck
 Collecting in the hand printed cement beneath her feet
 ♪
 Apparently, there had been a death
 Someone close had nothing left
 Because she hadn't left him in the end
 I saw her blush when I asked
 If she always talked like that
 She said, it only happened when she drank
 And later on, I felt her hand slipping into my cold fist
 She promised me a kiss as soon as we got home
 Her costume had begun to tear
 She ran ahead and turned to me
 Her laughter echoed through the empty streets
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
