Leaves in the River

Sea Wolf Lyrics -Leaves In the River

album:Leaves In the River （Bonus Track Version）

I met a girl on Halloween

Well she was lost,and I was drunk

And it was dark and cold out when we left

And as we walked the rain started

The leaves softened with every step

And all around us people slept alone with their dreams

The wind came down from up the planes

And blew the leaves all through the streets

I wondered how far leaves could really fly

Would they rest in suburb yards

Or make it to the city

Or would they end up in the river just to float away

She pointed to a small brick house

And said it was where she grew up

The lights were out,she aked if we could stop for awhile

Her hair was still just getting wet

The water running down her neck

Collecting in the handprint in cement beneath her feet

Apparently there'd been a death

Someone close and nothing left

Because she hadn't left him in the end

I saw her blush when I asked

If she always talked like that

She said it only happened when she drank

And later on I felt her hand

Slipping into my cold fist

She promised me a kiss as soon as we got home

Her costume had begun to tear

She ran ahead and turned to me

Her laughter echoed through the empty streets
