FALLING LEAVES (Robyn Hitchcock) 1984



It's not the wind that blows me in,

I've been blown away once before.

It's not the rain that brings the pain,

I don't feel pain anymore.

If I had seen it coming,

Then I'd have done something,

But hear the branches in the wind.



All I can give you are the falling leaves.



It got too late, I couldn't wait,

At least not for you anymore.

And now the moon shines on the dune,

Where I walk alone on the shore.

It's like an amputation,

Since I lost you my friend.

You hurt me like a missing limb.



All I can give you are the falling leaves
