Autumn Dress - Mat Kerekes

Lay on the desert floor, we

Are vultures pickin' scraps, you

Might not make that first swing

But I know you’ll connect soon

It gets hard for you

I see it in your face from time to time

It’s on the tip of my tongue

This ain’t the place that you know

Don’t have that river you love

Or the sun beating down, boy

Within the dark the scene looks

Beautiful to me no matter what

And if it’s right in front of you

Then why don’t you see it?

Why don’t you see it?

Yeah, I’ll remember you

Lovely in your autumn dress, yeah

Lay on your bedroom floor, let’s

Give a little this time

If life is unforgiving

I’ll give you peace of mind, I

I have been there before

Obsession creates problems of its own

When the embers burn cold

You look but you don’t care

And there’s no distance, I will always meet you anywhere

I am tougher than you know

I want what I’ve got and that is so

And if it’s right in front of you

Then why don’t you see it?

Why don’t you see it?

Yeah, I’ll remember you

Lovely in your autumn dress

In your autumn dress

Lay on the desert floor, you

Can settle in your scars, and

Give anything, a push then

The need is ours, I know you’re

Like a child at heart

You’re a match for thunder in the dark

And if it’s right in front of you

Then why don’t you see it?

Why don’t you see it?

Oh yeah, I’ll remember you

Lovely in your autumn dress

In your autumn dress
