Elvis Costello Fallen Lyrics

Fallen Lyrics

All the leaves are turning yellow, red and brown

Soon they'll be scattered as they tumble down

Although they may be swept up so invitingly

I never did what I was told

I trampled though the amber and the burnished gold

But now I clearly see how cruel the young can be!



You can convince yourself of anything

If you wish both hard and long

And I believed that life was wonderful

Right up to the moment when love went wrong

I gaze up at the tree tops and laugh

I need somebody to shake me loose

I want to know what happens next

'Til I don't care at all, there I go, beginning to fall
