Leaves are falling down
|
On the beautiful ground
|
I heard a story from the man in red
|
He said the leaves are falling down
|
Such a beautiful sound
|
Son, I think you better go ahead
|
|
But you always hold your head up high
|
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
|
This town was meant for passing through
|
But it ain't nothing new
|
Now go and show them
|
That the world stayed round
|
But it's a long, long, long way down
|
|
You better run for the hills before they burn
|
Listen to the sound of the world
|
And watch it turn
|
I just want to show you what I know
|
And catch you when the current lets you go
|
Or should I just get along with myself
|
|
I never did get along with everybody else
|
I've been trying hard to do what's right
|
But you know I could stay here all night
|
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
|
|
This river is wild
|
This river is wild
|
|
Run for the hills before they burn
|
Listen to the sound of the world
|
Watch it turn
|
But shake a little
|
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
|
I shake a little
|
Sometimes i hate the line I walk
|
I just want to show you what I know
|
And catch you when the current lets you go
|
|
Or should I just get along with myself
|
I never did get along with everybody else
|
Ive been trying hard to do whats right
|
But you know I could stay here all night
|
And watch the clouds fall
|
From the sky
|
|
Because this river is wild
|
God speed you boy
|
This river is wild
|
|
Now Adam's taking bombs
|
And he's stuck on his mom
|
Because that bitch
|
Keeps trying to make him pray
|
|
He's with the hippie in the park
|
Coming over the dark
|
Just trying to get some of that little girl play
|
|
You better run for the hills before they burn
|
Listen to the sound of the world
|
But watch it turn
|
I just want to show you what I know
|
And catch you when the current lets you go
|
|
Or should I get along with myself
|
I never did get along with everybody else
|
I've been trying hard to do whats right
|
But you know I could stay here all night
|
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
|
|
And pay this hell in me tonight
|
Because this river is wild
|
God speed you boy
|
This river is wild
|
God speed you boy
|
This river is wild
|
|
Now the cards are everywhere face in dust
|
The fairground
|
I don't think I ever seen so many headlights
|
But there's something pulling me
|
The circus and the crew
|
Well they're just passing through
|
Making sure the merry still goes round
|
But it's a long, long, long way down
|
