Jake Brantley - Autumn Leaves

{verse}
The faint, crisp golden hue
In the bluebird sky
My head would tumble into place
Like the autumn sun as it bathed in twilight
I fell into her
Just like a fresh-made pile of leaves
I made a person up
Oh, who i thought she would be

{chorus}
We would count the stars
As what was day turned into night
She held my beating heart as
The leaves turned redder 'til they died
In my head i finally tell her, oh
But i fear it's insincеre
She was what i held so dеar
But the leaves would disappear

{verse}
The woods we used to share
Grew colder every day
And slowly i felt them freeze
I was falling like the autumn leaves
I tried to break the ice
But it got harder every time
The wind picked up like my false hopes
As it barely kept me in the sky

{chorus}
I'd connect the dots
As what was day turned into night
But rolling back the clock
Made me fall back every time
In my head i finally tell her, oh
But i know it's insincere
She was what i held so dear
But the leaves would disappear

{bridge}
Finally
I touch the ground
The last time
I'd make a sound
And fearful of
The winter ahead
I told her that i loved her
And then i reached the end

{chorus}
We would count the stars
As what was day turned into night
She crushed my beating heart
Like the leaves that turned redder 'til they died
In my head i finally tell her, oh
But i know it's insincere
She was what i held so dear
But the leaves would disappear

{outro}
She was what i held so dear
But the leaves would disappear
