Close Of Autumn Lyrics - Caedmon's Call - Caedmons Call

When I'm cold and alone all I want 

Is my freedom, a sudden gust of gravity 

I stop wailing and kicking just to let 

This water cover me, cover me 

Only if I rest my arms, rest my mind 

You'll overcome me and swell up around me 

With my fighting so vain, with my vanity 

So fought, I'm rolling over 

'Cause in just the same way the stream becomes 

Swollen up, swollen with cold up over the ground 

When my heart draws close to the close of autumn 

Your love, your love abounds 

All this time I've been thinking, wondering 

How would it be to breathe in deep 

Guess I need to be careful when I ask 

For a drink, just might get what I ask for 

And I know just what you'd say to me 

That's why I don't ask you, what would I ask you? 

I'm like a bull-headed boy these days 

Crying my toy is gone, you're shiny and new 

'Cause in just the same way the stream becomes 

Swollen up, swollen with cold up over the ground 

When my heart draws close to the close of autumn 

Your love, your love abounds 

Guess I'll drop my anger here before 

I float away and the chains around me 

An awful lot of talking, I don't leave you 

Much to say, you didn't ever leave me 

And my greatest fear was you'd leave me here 

A long time back my feet could touch the bottom
