lyrics

Vera (In Autumn)

Now that someone murdered summer or, at least, left it for dead
As August drown in glory and September turned & fled
Now the autumn leaves are falling but I wonder if they’re true
What use is autumn, Vera, when I live without you?
What use is autumn, Vera, when I live without you?

I will jog across the Common; I will run through the park
As a shabby sun shines weakly as if a traitor to the dark
And the autumn leaves are falling, almost ashamed they ever grew
What what use is autumn, Vera, when I live without you?
What use is autumn, Vera, when I live without you?

Chorus
When you’re lost to your woman there is nothing to be done
When you’re lost to your woman you are lost to the sun
When you’re lost to your woman where you gonna run?
When you’re lost to your woman you are lost to the sun.

In the playgrounds kids are playing, they run & kick the leaves
As the rain pours down from heaven as if angels need to grieve
And the autumn leaves are falling ‘cause winds too bitter blew
What use is autumn, Vera, when I live without you?
What use is autumn, Vera, when I live without you?

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

I will sit in crowded cafes; I will drink my sour wine
I will think about the old days & the passing of our time
And the autumn leaves are falling in a sky more black than blue
What use is autumn, Vera, when I die without you?
What use is autumn, Vera, when I die without you?
What use is autumn, Vera, when I die without you?
