Autumn

The naked autumn trees
Loom closer with the breeze
Their limbs the bones that held our summer shade.

I'm restless as the moon
That covers us through june
With clouds that stretch and taint his evening gaze.

And the leaves upon the ground
Make that old familiar sound
Both bold and red like blood shed in the cold.

When everyone's asleep
And the house begins to creek
I'm a question with an answer left untold
I'm left untold.

And the stars will try to shine
But it seems a waste of time
Their subtle glow behind a quiet of grey.

They stay neighbours to the moon
And that old familiar tune
Of the insect and the cats that had gone astray.

Passing cars let off a sigh
In the middle of the night
A comfortable surprise that leaves me sound.

Asleep inside my bed
With no thought for what's ahead
Or a care for any trouble that sorrounds.

Oh will you be my
Won't you see i need you in my sight
Now i need you
Let me see you
Wake me up tonight, tonight, tonight. [x2]
