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

Son, I think you better go ahead

But you always hold your head up high

Cause it's a long, 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, long, long way down

You 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 what I know

And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I just get along with myself

I never did get along with everybody else

I've 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

But shake a little

Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk

I shake a little

Sometimes I hate the line I walk

I just want to show you what I know

And catch you when the current lets 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

Just 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

And catch you when the current lets you go

Or should I get along with myself

I never did get along with everybody else

I've 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 pay this hell in me tonight

Because this river is wild

God speed you boy

This river is wild

God speed you 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 they're just passing through

Making sure the merry still goes round

But it's a long, long, long way down
