Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound so I think you
Better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long,long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it's a long way down
Better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
And watch it turn
I just want to show you all I know
In case you ? let you go
Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
Iv'e been trying hard to do what's right
But you know i could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild
Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Watch it turn
Sometimes i'm nervous when i talk
Sometimes i hate the line i walk
I just want to show you what I know
In case you ? let you go
Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
Ive been trying hard to do whats right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall
From the sky
Because this river is wild
God speed you boy
This river is wild
Now Adam's taking bombs
And he's stuck on his mom
Because that bitch
Keeps trying to make him pray
He's with the hippie in the park
Coming over the dark
Trying to get some of that little girl play
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
But watch it turn
I just want to show you what i know
In case ? and let you go
Or should I get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
Iv'e been trying hard to do whats right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
And pain is hell on me tonight
Because this river is wild
God speed your boy
This river is wild
God speed your boy
This river is wild
Now the cards are everywhere face in dust
The fairground
I don't think i ever seen so many headlights
But there's something pulling me
The circus and the crew
Well their just passing through
Making sure the merry still goes round
But it's a long long way down
