Autumn Sun

Emiliana Torrini

Compositor: Não Disponível

My youth stood by the harbour
Her hand set in a wave
The light now more evening then day
Now I see the beauty I failed to see
When she was me
Life undressed me off her
Strap by strap like a silk dress
She fell to my feet

She brought me flowers
Said she liked my work
I thought she couldn't do us any harm
He never liked that kind of charm
But how could he resist when her dress
Let in the autumn sun

I used to watch the sparrows
Perched on eclectic wires
Like notes of a song waiting to be sung
For you I wrote them down
Uuuuuu

He laughed that laugh
That kept me sane in a world of
Dark, dark games

She brought me flowers
Said she liked my work
I thought she couldn't do us any harm
He never liked that kind of charm
But how could he resist when her dress
Let in the autumn sun

She watered the garden
N'played with the kids
For her birthday he let her try on
His wedding ring

She brought me flowers
Said she liked my work
I thought she couldn't do us any harm
He never liked that kind of charm
But how could he resist when her dress
Let in the autumn sun
