Autumn leaves will fall around us
as we stand on common ground
old oak trees they grew much older
yet their roots still hug the land
A distant look in your eyes

leave this troubled world behind
A distant look in your eyes
which drew me out and then in

for those who started to feel

old oak trees they grew much older
yet their roots still hug the land
A distant look in your eyes
which drew me out and then near
love comes as a surprise
for those who don't know the fear
Heaven's broken windows 'round us
careless moon caress the sand
in the nick of time they'll find us
leave this troubled world behind
A distant look in your eyes
which drew me out and then in
love comes as no surprise
for those who started to feel
