Autumn Town Leaves Iron & Wine

[Verse 1]
In this autumn town where the leaves can fall
On either side of the garden wall
We laugh all night to keep the embers glowing

[Verse 2]
Some are leaping free from their moving cars
Stacking stones 'round their broken hearts
Waving down any wind that might come blowing

[Chorus 1]
Mice move out when the field is cut
Serpents curl when the sun comes up
Songbirds only end up where they're going

[Verse 3]
Some get rain and some get snow
Some want love and some want gold
I just want to see you in the morning

[Chorus 2]
Dogs lay down in the evening heat
Fish do worse when they leave the sea
Songbirds only end up where they're going

[Verse 4]
In this autumn town where the lights can change
Some get mercy and some get blame
Some get lost when they feel the river flowing
