Scattered Leaves - The Be Good Tanyas

Don’t you go looking 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 blowing in the wind stone dead

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)

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

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

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)

Repeat chorus
