Autumn Leaves Revisited

The leaves will fall
 And so will you
 When you do, bury me under them too
 Seconds pass; we'll make it through
 Eventually we all go home
 It won't be long
 It won't be long
 We walk along the wire tied between horizons
 You close your eyes like it's nothing at all
 Throughout the rise and fall, everything, everything
 Changes, I will be here when you die
 It won't be long
 It won't be long
 Until we find our way home
 Did you hear the trumpets play the day your father died?
 Did a violin swell those circles under your eyes?
 Did you play the part straight, like a marcher?
 Get lost in the beat, thinking and feeling
 Did the drums in the streets make the people dance?
 Or fall to their knees as the sound?
 Knock the leaves from the trees
 As they fall from the branch, the look beautiful
 As they hung in the air
 Spinning around
 Did you float in the air?
 Spinning around
 There must be somewhere that cigarettes burn through the night
 And the leaves don't abandon their trees to the light
 Where the skies always clear
 And the summer never ends
 Won't you take me there?
 The leaves will fall
 So will you
 When you do, bury me
 Under them too
 Seconds pass; we'll make it through
 Eventually we all are going home
