Them Leaves, Them Sitting on a bench Thinking of divorce Autumn leaves are falling Down, of course Watching picky pigeons Pass my feet Beady eyes keening For a bite to eat Brittle like brandy-snap Glimpse at the church Happy crappy people Leer and clap Lurch and linger Marching on Memories are fickle Faithless map Checking out the dust Between my toes Thinking of religion Had my dose Hope, my darling Here we are Stars are gazing Shining far Stretch for a meaning Reach for her Now that I've found I mustn't err Thinking of saplings Sturdy oaks Musing over mistakes Artist chokes Things are picking Up, of course Collecting leaves My daughter's passion Sewing clothes My lover's fashion Drawing in A nip and a tuck A daughter's dream A lover's luck My mother's love My father-rock The leaves are falling As I type The dreams are calling Will you wail? The time is slipping Like the pain That slithers serpent Down this drain Just grab and do it now Say the adverts slick Dope, my darling Veer and slap But there is something You should know Love is the only Way to go! Dude Jude you're paling Hold me now We're in this together Tell me how We'll beat the bastards Break the waves We'll whip the weirdoes "Jesus Saves!" We'll roll out carpets For ourselves We'll create a commune On my shelves We'll twist our rhymes And not give a shit And love loving people Quite a bit Me and daughter and lover Triangle Listening to stuff like... Pentangle ;-) Brush the autumn leaves Up in a bag Hoick it over your shoulder Feel it sag Reel it in shove it out From a bridge up high Watch the autumn leaves Wave a wan goodbye Goodbye
