The Good Life
October Leaves
I stumbled in at 3 AM
But you didn't want to
I tried again at half-past ten
You still didn't want to
Your hips have this way of saying no way
An impenetrable barricade

Something I said, something I did
What's made you so defensive
Something you heard, something you learned
The season's changing, it's for the worse
It's for the worse

You used to call me on your break
But you've been so busy
You used to bring me tomato soup
But you keep forgetting
As the grounds keep the rakes up the October leaves
It occurs to me that trees can't hide anything

Something I said, something I did
You've been acting so distant
Something you heard, something you learned
The trees are barren, the leaves have turned
The days when we made it, the world was green
Now autumn has fallen, everything's changed
October leaves, October leaves
October leaves, October leaves
I woke up this morning, you were off to work
No kisses, no coffee, no morning paper

Man: Yes?
Woman: Are you sleeping?
Man: No
Woman: Can I ask you something?
Man: Yes
Woman: Are you cheating on me?
Man: No
Woman: Are you lying?
