Bilingual
We were young like the future
We were young always wrong
We were young like the country
Finding all there's to be done
Found in driving around
And living like dilapidated cars
That is a door we turned into
Living possibly long lost stars
ย
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves
Tennessee and Jeremy
Sudden game, willow trees
Memories of Jeremy
ย
Right from the life of the tented
We grew old and stayed that way
Built our nest in a sand dune
Laid our eggs and walked away
I was writing my dreams down
Making maps of an unseen place
And what though just a memory
Don't you rather not see it today?
ย
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves
Tennessee and Jeremy
Sudden game, willow trees
Memories of Jeremy
Cold coming down in scalding rain
On the one day we were young
The house we bought was really a loan
On a scabbard down the hall
Never will we see it more
I say you're alone
And it's over, you're alone
But you're gone and you're alone
And now I'm all alone and you're not young
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves
Tennessee and Jeremy
Sudden game, willow trees
Memories of Jeremy
