Scattered Leaves

capo 1

Verse 1:

Don't you go lookin' so surprised, baby don't you look so stunned

Didn't I tell you that a cold November'd come

And deliver the leaves from green to red

To blowin' in the wind stone dead

Verse 2:

Well I never used to notice this awful quiet, mmmmh

And fall was just the calm before the next spring riot, mmmhh

Of wildflowers and lunatic rivers -

Sweat jumping off of the skin of love givers, mmh (in the park)

Chorus:

Scattered leaves don't lie

Aw' now baby, baby, quit your cryin'

Like everything that ever mattered, scit-scat scattered

Like every love word you heard

But that's just the way when you walk your days

In the beauty of this world

(repeat)

Verse 3:

pretty little disappointments all in a row

Been about a year since you disappeared through my door

And now you come back with your head on straight,

But I got no love or hate left for you, girl

Verse 4:

You must be the daughter of the late, late rose - I'm November's

son

And I'm here to tell you, honey, ooh what's done is done

Yeah, I been claimed by the wind and the rain

There ain't no going back, naw there ain't no going back again (for us now)
