The Spuds MacKenzies - Yellow Leaves Lyrics

The river runs so slow, out by the swaying trees
I want to meet you out, among the yellow leaves
I toss and turn cause I'm thinking of you
Red eyes, black heart and an aura of blue
This isn't healthy but it is what it is
And there's nothing I can do
When we're apart it's a terrible thing
It's the heart that feels like a million stings
Can't help thinking that you're slipping away
Honey, this shit isn't cute
Kept above the undertow
Anchors that would not let go
Barely lived to tell the tale
Now I wanna burn the book
All those years that I was misused
All those words that were misconstrued
That was then, this is now
All I really need is you
The river runs so slow, out by the swaying trees
I want to meet you out among the yellow leaves
The weather's getting cold
Your pretty breath I see
We are a story told
Among the yellow leaves
Among the yellow leaves
A lesson learned is a terrible thing
Red line, black thoughts and delusions that ring
Long, long after a normal man
Would ever think they're true
When I wake up, it's a beautiful thing
And I hope that 24 hours will bring
Much more of the kind of man
That I need to be for you
I wanna learn to be much more tough
I wanna know if I'm man enough
Everything I said to you
Is as honest as the day is long
Keeping some things to myself
Putting some things on the shelf
Picking up some other things
To bury in the shallow grave
The river runs so slow, out by the swaying trees
I want to meet you out among the yellow leaves
The weather's getting cold
Your pretty breath I see
We are a story told
Among the yellow leaves
Watch, you'll see
The river runs so slow, out by the swaying trees
I want to meet you out among the yellow leaves
The weather's getting cold
Your pretty breath I see
We are a story told
Among the yellow leaves
The river runs so slow, out by the swaying trees
I want to meet you out among the yellow leaves
The weather's getting cold
Your pretty breath I see
We are a story told
Among the yellow leaves
Among the yellow leaves
(River runs)
Among the yellow leaves
(Yellow leaves)
Among the yellow leaves
(River runs)
Among the yellow leaves
(Yellow leaves)
