The Fall

She is packing in slow motion

The sun is coming up

I am sitting in the next room

Staring in my coffee cup

Now we are driving down the shoreline,

This car is cut in two

I am quiet, and she is humming,

When the Stars Go Blue

And pulling up to JFK,

There really isn't much to say

Don't tell me you'll write me,

Don't tell me you'll call

Just tell me you'll see me in the Fall

And don't give me a promise

You know you'll never keep

Go and find it all and I'll see you in the Fall

Now I'm back at our apartment

And nothing feels the same

Her coat is gone, her toothbrush is missing,

All the flowers start to fade

And September feels so far away

Don't tell me you'll write me,

Don't tell me you'll call

Just tell me you'll see me in the Fall

And don't give me a promise

You know you'll never keep

Go and find it all and I'll see you in the Fall

Let you fly over the sea,

Fate will bring you back to me

And darling that's all we have

Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall

Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall

Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall

Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall

Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall

Don't write don't call I'll see you in the Fall

Don't tell me you'll write me,

Don't tell me you'll call

Just tell me you'll see me in the Fall

And don't give me a promise

You know you'll never keep

Go and find it all and I'll see you in the Fall
