lyrics

There’s a fallen queen
Treat her heart tenderly
Her passions blown
By the storms you weave
Her restless heart
Like autumn leaves
But she still sails to your breeze

And your song she knows
This course she charts when she is lost
And to the mast
She is always tied
And to your tune
She is obliged

And she will notice every word
And she will pay
She knew that it meant nothing
But she loved you anyway
Ooh, ooh ooh,
Standing in the Autumn rain

And she will yield her heart
For one small sign, one small call
What you conceal
Can she fathom?
Can she sound?
And to your whim
She is slave, she is bound
And she longs for any word

And she’s dead inside
This hollow girl, this jilted bride
For she is blind
And love is cruel
Drunk on grief
You are her all
And she wails against the wall
And she will pay
She knew that it meant nothing
But she loved you anyway
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Standing in the Autumn rain

It’s all illusion
Just imagined conversations
Breaking her apart
Taking her through change upon change
Until she gets back to the place where she starts

It’s all illusion
This lonely bag of hopeless
Reparations and amends
Mistakenly believes
If she’s your punch bag
Then she must also be your friend

So she will set her face
To this Autumn rain
This Autumn rain
For one more year
She will stay the same
For one more year
For one more flame

And she will hold onto your name
And she will pay
She knows you never loved her but
She loved you just the same
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
She loved you just the same
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
She loved you just the same
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Standing in the Autumn rain
