words and music by Nicholas Tozier
The leaves don’t wait for anyone, Honey
Fallen apples in a ring around the tree
I woke up late, the shadows stretched long
Apples fat as cherubs on the limb
With a dull thud another falls down
Get too heavy, you gotta let ’em go
You got to let your little angels go
Closed my eyes for a moment,
now it’s all gone by
The leaves don’t wait for anyone, Honey
Fallen apples in a ring around the tree
The leaves don’t wait for anyone, Honey
Bruised apples in a ring around the tree
Orange and red where green should be
Autumn is the Hell where Summer goes
And if it’s got to burn, at least it burns slow
Leaves curl in a fire in the cold
Leaves burn in a fire in the cold
Closed my eyes for a moment,
now it’s all gone by
The leaves don’t wait for anyone, Honey
Fallen apples in a ring around the tree
The worms don’t wait for anyone, Honey
Bruised apples in a ring around the tree
