Sweet little autumn city

Sidewalk littered with leaves

I’ve never seen such marvelous things

I just might never leave

Sweet little autumn city

Churches and steeples and stores

I hear the bells a ringing

I think I’ll stay here some more

Sweet little autumn city

A place I might never have known

Down by the creek there are secrets

Far more than just rocks have been thrown

Sweet little autumn city

With people who stay in their homes

Peeking through windows curiously

This city just won’t let me go

Sweet little autumn city

Whose streets are forever alone

I’ve found where your bodies are buried

Please, I am not yours to own

Let me go, sweet daydream

Let me back on that train ride home

Set me free, I’ll be careful

To not travel back down this road

Farewell.

I promise I will not return

Sweet little autumn city

I hope you burn
