Lend me your ear while I call you a fool.
|
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood,
|
And later insisted your feelings were true.
|
The witch's promise was coming,
|
Believing he listened while laughing you flew.
|
|
Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same,
|
And the love you have found lay outside in the rain.
|
Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain.
|
The witch's promise was coming, and you're looking
|
Elsewhere for your own selfish gain.
|
|
Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be,
|
Well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is.
|
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see.
|
|
You won't find it easy now, it's only fair.
|
He was willing to give to you, you didn't care.
|
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share.
|
The witch's promise is turning, so don't you wait up
|
For him, he's going to be late.
