AUTUMN LADY

the sky is pouring down it's cold sweet tears
wind is blowing up with a freezing breeze

rambling through abandoned city streets
looking for delight for this sad clown
only red leaves falling, no living soul to see
still i know you're there somewhere in this town

fool me for a while, oh fair lady
tell me the little lie that keeps me alive

stone walls rising proudly from the ground
shallow people behind the glass rampart (pretending fun)
tin plated roofs as their cheap crown, this ain't where I lost my love
shine for me baby, be my star tonight

fool me for a while, oh fair lady
tell me the little lie that keeps me alive

autumn lady, please hear my call tonight
i need you baby, or i'm gonna fall from this flight

fool me for a while, oh fair lady
tell me the little lie that keeps me alive
