[Verse 1] I'm in the backyard I'm on the water And I'm floating, sleeping, waiting Are you calling? Are you calling me now? [Verse 2] You're always humming You're always humming the song There was 'Darkness', and 'Control' And now 'I Can Tell' [Chorus 1] Oh that Winter's on the rise Hoist the old white flag tonight [Verse 3] We were so young Just a crush on a washing machine And on a tile floor I was bleeding But you kept me breathing [Chorus 2] Back when we believed in love Oh did it catch you by suprise And Winter's on the rise Hoist the old white flag tonight And this is Autumn in the Evening Oh, and Winter's on the rise [Instrumental Outro]
