Lyrics

These Are the Leaves Did you know the words I spoke Were just for you? Just a few So you would know this mind of mine? Please know me better this time So you can make up your mind An educated feeling without the bind Of twine that winds Would you unravel if I asked you? If I told you that I’d hold you? Could you be the one for me? Could be I try, try to see If you would be a world apart, A world within my beating heart. You bring me something I can’t see You bring me biscuits with tea And your lips keep reminding me. (Chorus) Fall softly please, fall fully These are the leaves, I raked to break your fall. Your eyes are clear my sight is not I shift my gaze incase I might rest for more than a moment at best Give away the beating in my chest. What is behind the window of your eyes? They catch mine sometimes But I run from the second and I plunder Under the illusion That I’ve drawn the right conclusion. Draw me a picture of your eyes Show me a picture without a disguise I’ll cross my fingers and hope for the best I’ll show you the beating in my chest Under the layers of clothes that I hold Close to my body so you won’t know The longing I feel when you go The longing I feel to follow you home. (Chorus) I need a lover wish it were you, could it be you If it would be, what would this body do? Would I still have hands shaking quietly, over me Hiding the longing that lives underneath? Under beneath me, I love you neatly Scared for the mess, the mess that could be Can I love you cleanly? (Chorus) Hopeful hopeless would you say yes please be for me? Only if it would be a yes that’s free.
