Falling Leaves Lyrics - Hitchcock Robyn

FALLING LEAVES (Robyn Hitchcock) 1984 

It's not the wind that blows me in, 

I've been blown away once before. 

It's not the rain that brings the pain, 

I don't feel pain anymore. 

If I had seen it coming, 

Then I'd have done something, 

But hear the branches in the wind. 

All I can give you are the falling leaves. 

It got too late, I couldn't wait, 

At least not for you anymore. 

And now the moon shines on the dune, 

Where I walk alone on the shore. 

It's like an amputation, 

Since I lost you my friend. 

You hurt me like a missing limb. 

All I can give you are the falling leaves.
