Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Autumn's Child lyrics

rate me

Go back ten years ago

Sunbeams dancing round

Go back ten years ago

Sunbeams dancing down

Autumn's child, autumn's child

Autumn's child

Got a loophole round her finger

Halo rings her head

Corn husk hair makes me linger

A cat's stare meet s my dare

A man's chair greets my stare

Gonna be my wife

She sang, she said

Gonna be my wife gonna

Spice my life, she said

Go back ten years ago

Sunbeams everywhere

Go back ten years ago

Sunbeams fill the air

Harvest moon be nimble

Apples bob and tremble

Fish pond streaks love kind

Found the child I have to find

Apples shine share together

Got the time to make her mine

Fish pond streaks love kind

Found the child I had to find

Autumn's child, I met her

At a balloon bust picnic

She caught me

With the beauty queen

With jade green eyes buttons

And bows and fancy ties

The feet of dust under trees of rust

Make them sandals gambol under knees of trust

Gonna be my wife

Gonna spice my life

She sang she said

Gonna be my wife

Gonna spice my life

She said

Go back ten years ago

Sunbeams shining down

Go back ten years ago

Sunbeams glancin' round

Autumn's child
