Autumn Sun Lyrics - Tookah - Emiliana Torrini

My youth stood by the harbor 

Her hands set in a wave 

Like no more evening and day 

Now I see the beauty I failed to see when she was me 

Life undress me of her, step by step 

Like a silk dress, she fell to my feet 

She brought me flowers 

Said she liked my work 

I thought she couldn't do us any harm 

He never liked that kind of charm 

But how could he resist 

When her dress let in the autumn sun? 

I used to watch the sparrows 

Perched on electric wires 

Like notes of a song waiting to be sung 

For you, I wrote them down 

He laughed at life that kept me sane 

In a world of dark dark games 

She brought me flowers 

Said she liked my work 

I thought she couldn't do us any harm 

He never liked that kind of charm 

But how could he resist 

When her dress let in the autumn sun? 

She watered the garden and played with the kids 

For her birthday, let her try on his wedding ring 

She brought me flowers 

Said she liked my work 

I thought she couldn't do us any harm 

He never liked that kind of charm 

But how could he resist 

When her dress let in the autumn sun?
