If I Should Fall In Love With You

Autumn glow
fast forward straight to slo mo
the afternoon finds me as the last leaf to fall

Chestnut hair
falls over an eye without care
a momentary glance nails my heart to a wall

I wouldn't know just what to do
if I should fall in love with you

Crowded street
the last breath of summer heat
I see her luthier's shape beyond the blur

Foolish eyes
when they close at nightfall's rise
they lie to me and show me right beside her

I wouldn't have a ghost of a clue
if I should fall in love with you

I feel a lightness in my step
and a softness in my grip
around my beating heart
around my beating heart
can't see the forest for the trees
can't say I've ever truly seen a tree
if I may abuse a metaphor
stumbled on the words what for

Autumn glow
watering feelings to grow
the afternoon finds me as my defenses fall

I'm at a loss of what to do
I've fallen deeply in love with you

No I didn't think I'd ever believe
what sweet fate had up its sleeve
that you would fall in love with me

"Peace is more than the absence of war" -- Prince
