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 witches promise was cunning,
|
Believing he listened while laughing you flew.
|
|
Leaves falling, red, yellow, brown, all look the same,
|
And the love you had found lay outside in the rain,
|
Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain.
|
The witches promise was cunning,
|
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 witches promise is turning so don't you wait up for him,
|
He's going to be late.
