Don't you go looking so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned Didn't I tell you that a cold november'd come? And deliver the leaves from green to red, To blowing in the wind stone dead
Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmmh And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mmmhh Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers - Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh
Scattered leaves don't lie Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin' Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered Like every love word you heard But that's just the way when you walk your days In the beauty of this world
Pretty little disappointments all in a row Been about a year since you disappeared through my door And now you come back with your head on straight, But I got no love or hate left for you, girl
You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's son And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now)
