3. The Way She Falls
Red, orange and bright yellow
drop at the sound of "Hello"
Suddenly, its all masks and demons at the door
She dances on All Hallows
Bonfires and springtimes shadows
Seems to be glad to see the end of longer days
Never leaves me altogether
Even in the warmest weather
Wintertime's just outside and that's the way she falls
Cold today and snow tomorrow
Giving back the time she borrowed
Summertime's changed her mind and that's the way she falls
I like the way she brings to me
Those sweet nostalgic memories
Man to child for awhile I'm young and innocent
Seems like she's always been here
'Round the same time most every year
But, every day that she stays I want to celebrate
Never leaves me altogether
Even in the warmest weather
Wintertime's just outside and that's the way she falls
Cold today and snow tomorrow
Giving back the time she borrowed
Summertime's changed her mind and that's the way she falls
Tickles the troubleman, trimming the sales and tipping the scales into the New Year,
when new resolutions and clear constitutions will fade by the time she's here again
Let her take you back, let her take you back
While winter was welcome and springtime is seldom the bringer of tears, its perfectly clear,
She has good intentions and sometimes elections. But, please don't hold that against her.
Let her take you back, let her take you back
Never leaves me altogether
Even in the warmest weather
Wintertime's just outside and that's the way she falls
Cold today and snow tomorrow
Giving back the time she borrowed
Summertime's changed her mind and that's the way she falls
Autumn rides and oak leaf tide and that's the way she falls.
