作词 : Jane Siberry 作曲 : Jane Siberry I was dreaming in the steam room Everything was so clear for a minute And I thought... And the dripping tiles and... And I said I'll confess everything Yes. I own this land I own these forests surrounding my ...my estate This is my tea coming Everything I can - I confess Bend Now I have the bend The best I ever Place the tea just so Then release and turn Oh no not yet Then release and turn Turn away then go (I was walking through the forest) Better try again Looking at me he's (I was walking through the forest) Wait 'til tomorrow Don't want him to know Next time he orders tea Release and turn (I had this funny feeling) Turn and limp away ( Something was going to change) Turn and limp away (I was walking through the dry leaves) Turn and limp away (It was very strange) They hadn't changed their colour All the leaves were green I don't mind when it's over I don't mind when it's all done It's just the moments in between Just before it's gone Something's going to happen Something's going to change I know I know I know... And when autumn comes Well, there's lots of work to do that means you Time to clean the kettles And the pots on the wall Pickling and preserving All the vegetables Stop kicking the apples Are we pickling this year? Yes-you know we are And when autumn comes Well, there's lots of work to do Bill - that means you Time to get the twigs up You know, all those stick things Time to trim back the roses So next year even more grow Does it hurt them to do that? Does it hurt them? no And when autumn comes Well, deliveries start to go Here he is now Down into the valley To the market he goes Down along the tiny roads That wind along the vineyards And people lean on their rakes And they say hello Hello there Francesco ! Francesco there hello ! And those are my swans Believe me... There's no light And there isn't because... It's so dark Because it's so dark Because it's so dark Because it's so dark I was walking through the dry leaves It was very strange The leaves fell without changing No yellows and no reds Something's going to happen (Now I have the bend) Something's going to change (Place the tea just so) And just then as I looked up (Then release and turn ) (Oh not yet) I remembered what you said (Turn away then go) I'm crying because I love you (Wait until tomorrow) (He's looking at me) I know that things must change (Wait until tomorrow) (Don't want him to know) I can't be there when you leave (Next time…) (Time he orders tea) What if you're afraid? (Release and turn) ( Turn and limp away…) You said something about the leaving. ( Turn and limp away…) ( Turn and limp away…) The moments in between. ( Turn and limp away…) (Turn away just go) The yawning when the world shifts (Turn away just go) (Just go... ) The clanging of the trains. (Just go... ) (Just go... ) And a dog sits up and growls And a cow begins to bawl And a nun nearby stops to listen Cross herself and then move on I was laughing in the forest I fell down in the leaves And I watched the trees above me Crossing in the breeze I love the bare branches I love the healing bells The bareness in the last sun The greyness and the gold And a flock of geese flew over And I laughed harder still I laughed 'til I was heaving Then everything was still
