Rosebuds - Leaves Do Fall lyrics

You've been gone too long Where can you be They said three months You'd come for me I've shouted "where?" Out at the sea Cuz your my love, my family I've waited for the leaves to fall For old John White to save us all I've worn out both my hands and knees I'm a desperate girl and that terrifies me Can you hear me love? My heart's the sea It swirls and breaks Since we can't be I'm gonna build this sail And they'll need me Then we'll have kids, a family I've waited for the leaves to fall For old John White to save us all I've worn out both my hands and knees I'm a desperate man and that terrifies me Baby birds don't sing In this old tree And I've grown deaf Listenin' to the sea So i must go My bones cost me To an earthen home to cradle me I've waited for the leaves to fall For old John White to save us all I've worn out both my hands and knees I'm a desperate girl and that terrifies me I've waited too long Now I do weep For an ancient promise I could not keep But I've heard lovers In d**h do meet This swirling ocean Is the end of me I've waited for the leaves to fall For old John White to save us all I've worn out both my hands and knees I'm a desperate man and that terrifies me
