Autumn Boy

Autumn boy

Autumn boy
Standing in the Sunday rain
Climbs a hill
Watches starlings
Flying home again
Autumn boy
Got winter in his eyes
But there's love underneath
That cold blue sky

Watch that boy
'Cause he's burning up inside
He's seen his town
Fade away and slowly die
Once that boy
Tried to hitch a ride
Leave it all behind
Forget the pain inside

It's not that he's
Growing old
Or feeling the change
He wants to kick it all down
And build it up again

He looks at
His father's hands
All dusty and grey
He looks at
His mother's eyes
That hide from the day

Autumn boy...

Autumn boy
Wants to read
Every book in sight
Wants to run so fast
Wants to touch
Evеry shaft of light
Autumn boy is nobody's fool
Because when wintеr comes
That boy will still love you
