Golden Leaves

Well, you're flowing like a river
And I'm feeling like flying
You're running like an engine in the winter
When it's seconds from dying

Now we're rolling down the freeway
And I know we never used to go this slow
But the reason for my delay
I ain't in no hurry to get where we're going

So don't stay long
There's nothing here for us
I know this ain't wrong
But it ain't right enough

So I'm moving on, I'm moving on
I'm moving on down the road
And I'll think of you, yes I'll think of you
All our leaves turned to gold

Now these notes slide over the hills
Like a bitter winter breeze
And these chords blow through your heart
I only wish your heart would freeze

'Cause I know you want to carry on forever
But sunny days give way to rain
You said yourself every time we get fair weather
It always ends in misery and pain

So I'm doing what I should have long ago
I'm ending this while we're ahead
I'm pulling on my warmest winter coat
'Cause that fire and those coals are surely dead

So I'm moving on, I'm moving on
I'm moving on down the road
And I'll think of you, I'll think of you
All our leaves turned to gold
