Scattered Leaves Lyrics - Be Good Tanyas

Scattered Leaves 

(Jeremy Lindsey) 

Don't you go looking so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned 

Didn't I tell you that a cold november'd come? 

And deliver the leaves from green to red, 

To blowing in the wind stone dead 

Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmmh 

And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mmmhh 

Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers - 

Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh (in the park) 

Scattered leaves don't lie 

Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin' 

Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered 

Like every love word you heard 

But that's just the way when you walk your days 

In the beauty of this world 

(repeat) 

Pretty little disappointments all in a row 

Been about a year since you disappeared through my door 

And now you come back with your head on straight, 

But I got no love or hate left for you, girl 

You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's son 

And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done 

Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain 

There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now) 

Repeat chorus
