Autumn Sweater - Yo La Tengo, Kevin Shields

When I heard the knock on the door

I couldn’t catch my breath

Is it too late to call this off

We could slip away, wouldn’t that be better

Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater

I tried my best to hide

In a crowded room, it’s nearly possible

I wait for you, oh, most patiently

We could slip away, wouldn’t that be better

Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater

So I looked for your eyes

And the waves looked like they’d pour right out of them

I’ll try hard, I’ll try always

But it’s a waste of time

It’s a waste of time if I can’t smile easily

Like in the beginning

In the beginning…

We could slip away, wouldn’t that be better

Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater

We could slip away, wouldn’t that be better

Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater

You in your autumn sweater

You in your autumn sweater

You in your autumn sweater
