Beth Orton - Last Leaves Of Autumn lyrics

rate me

Oh the leaves how they shimmer

Trees lift their skirts and they quiver

Gently they lay down

To the dirt and dust and ground

They lose their innocence to find it all over

Ain’t nothing missing, they’re just high on a feeling

All they need is believing, no reason will do

I’m hanging on like the last leaves of autumn

But I’m coming through like the first shoots of spring

I’m standing outside of space of time

And I’m healing

Believing

I’m ready for a first time feeling

Something I can believe in

I’m ready for a first time feeling

Awaken sleeping season

If ever that morning came again I’d take it

If ever that morning came again I’d be there

I have tried to live each day as a last

I have found life is long and I’ve gone and got a past

And it’s best to stand in the shelter of my love

I’m hanging on like the last leaves of autumn

But one ray of sun and I bleed into one

I would light up the sky in one burning mist of flame

If I could light up the sky in one blinding mist of flame...

I’m ready for a first time feeling

Something I could believe in

I’m ready for a first time feeling

Awaken sleeping season
