You’d better be strong
You’d better be stoned
I’ve never lied about so long
So, I smoked my own songs
On the way to the store
My tears have touched Freddy’s wall
Now dried on the bus 44
Up from the trees leaves are falling on the ground
Up from the trees leaves are falling on the ground
Right in this background
As it was our love
I remember the sound of being sad
You’ve never heard my footsteps
But I swear to God
I walked until the sun
Destroyed the last cutting winter
Cracked hands on my whiskey
Up from the trees leaves are falling on the ground
Up from the trees leaves are falling on the ground
Right in this background
As it was our love
