Snakecharmer Falling Leaves
Came down like a heatwave
Lifting steam from morning rain
Thought I'd never leave
Thought I'd never move again
Bore down like a freight train
Earth a-tremble 'neath my feet
When the moment comes
All defence is obsolete
As the night it falls
I lay my head to sleep
Walk beside her
All her secrets mine to keep
But when the morning comes
My hopes and dreams
Rain down like falling leaves
No words from the preacher
Gonna pull me from my fate
Once the clouds rolled by
Now they seem to congregate
She wanted for nothing
Now I've nothing left to give
What use is a daydream
If those dreams don't want to live?
I'll try to be strong but I see
All the good that was taken from me
But you know I'll never breathe a word
Nothing not fortune or fame
Guarantees you a win in this game
You just have to pay them where they fall
