Autumn Boy Songtext
von Working Week

Autumn boy
Standing in the Sunday rain
Climbs a hill
Watches starlings flying home again
Autumn boy
No winter in his eyes
There′s love underneath
That cold blue sky

Watch that boy
'Cause he′s burning up inside
He's seen his town
Fade away and slowly die
Once that boy tried to hitch a ride
Leave it all behind
Forget the pain inside


It's not that he′s growing old
Or feeling the change
He wants to kick it all down
And build it up again

He looks at his father′s hands
All dusty and grey
He looks at his mother's eyes
That hide from the day

Autumn boy
Autumn boy
Autumn boy
Autumn boy

Autumn boy
Wants to read every book in sight
Wants to run so fast
Wants to touch every shaft of light
Autumn boy
He′s nobody's fool
Because when winter comes
That boy will still amuse
