Autumn

from Groundwork by Animal Byproducts

/

lyrics

I know that autumn's never as perfect
as you hope that it might seem
It's like the leaves conspire with powers higher
to never be crisp and clean

I know your thoughts are never as easy
as I tend to hope that they could be
It's like you're fighting a fire whilst I enquire
if you'd like some more bits of dead tree

Yet I know you know the beauty
of those bare, fractal branches
It's not a form of decay
it's a stripping away -
it's another of life's dances

So please know you can come to me to try to shed your leaves.

In the strange silence of fog
moments drift and lose their substance
The grim growl of a black dog
a susurrus insistent

When you tell me you feel better for the chat
it really feels like you mean it
And I know that I can't ever really know that
But I trust you like you'd like to trust yourself.

Grey then black
These evenings are cracks
Yellow and brown
Our foliage crowns
