Fallen Leaves Songtext
von The Whitlams

You fall into the other place
A smile you′ve missed in a brand new face
And the promises you made they slip away

You tell yourself that it don't mean that much
It′s where the itch and the hard nail touch
What she don't know won't hurt her anyway

Blind devotion, silent war, the boy and girl asleep next door
Sleeping with the enemy you trust

Fallen Leaves, are filling up my street
Fallen Leaves, I kick them from my feet
It′s just the way the old world turns
It′s the only way we learn
What she don't know won′t hurt her, and now it's killing me

When the whole thing hits the skids
She can only think about the kids
Not where we′ve been but what comes next


You said "It didn't mean that much to me"
That′s not the point now she can see
You broke the only thing that you had left

Blind devotion, silent war, the boy and girl asleep next door
Sleeping with the enemy you trust

Fallen Leaves, are filling up my street
Fallen Leaves, I kick them from my feet
It's just the way the old world turns
It's the only way we learn
What she don′t know won′t hurt her, and now it's killing me

She says it doesn′t matter anymore
No-one is the winner baby in a one-all draw
A woman scorned and all the rest
She who laughs the last laughs best
What she don't know won′t hurt her, now it's killing me

Fallen Leaves, are filling up my street
Fallen Leaves, I kick them from my feet
It′s just the way the old world turns
It's the only way we learn
What she don't know won′t hurt her, now it′s killing me
What she don't know won′t hurt her, and now it's killing me
