The Fall

Sooner or later we all find our way back home
The square starts to clear for the townies to roam
When the foliage sings it rings up a new year

Back, back to the fall
She gave me her heart
I took it all

She was a like a stone, in my river bed
Running back to Boston, to talk me off the ledge
When I was feeling rather scared of the cold

On the weekends I would catch the late bus up to Maine
And burn my shallow pockets to see her face again
When she was feeling rather tired of the call

Back, back to the fall
She gave me her heart
I took it all

While you were chasing majors, the leaves were burning red
I was clearing tables, waiting for the end
And I didn't have a song to sing

Did I misuse a local hero, forever scold my name
In the summertime we drank, to a new life far away
From the trees, that would change, when the new season came

Back, back to the fall
She gave me her heart
I took it all
Back, back to the fall
She gave me her heart
I took it all, back to the fall
Back to the fall, back to the fall
Back to the fall, back to the fall

Sooner or later we all find our way back home
