As I drove away over the dead leaves of your southern town<br> | As I drove away over the dead leaves of your southern town<br> | ||
I watched you wave and wave - in the mirror I saw you wave<br> | I watched you wave and wave - in the mirror I saw you wave<br> | ||
As the autumn fell - until | As the autumn fell - until I made my turn and I said, "oh well"<br> | ||
This could well be the last time I see your beautiful hands<br> | This could well be the last time I see your beautiful hands<br> | ||
Your frozen hands, your trembling hands that could not hold on<br> | Your frozen hands, your trembling hands that could not hold on<br> | ||

===''The Golden Age'' version=== | |||
As I drove away over the dead leaves of your southern town<br> | |||
In the mirror I saw you wave, in the mirror I saw you<br> | |||
As the autumn fell - until i made my turn I thought, "oh well"<br> | |||
I thought well this could be the last time I see your beautiful hands<br> | |||
Your frozen hands, your trembling hands that could not hold on<br> | |||
to any heart that's warm or any lie that's cold<br> | |||
Your hands are paper burning in the sun | |||
I like to get there safe, I like to get my sleep<br> | |||
I'm selfish with my time, like it was something I could keep<br> | |||
Oh but you know the truth, it never helped you much<br> | |||
It only beat it drum, it woke sleeping beauty<br> | |||
Yeah it woke her up too much<br> | |||
It woke you up too much<br> | |||
The bankers, the liars and the thieves<br> | |||
They want to sell you into a life of fear<br> | |||
They call it a plan that will make you free<br> | |||
But nothing's free - you taught me that, my dear | |||
No one could love the way she loved<br> | |||
With the blind purity of a honey bee<br> | |||
Oh but now that sweetness is like a mistake I grieve<br> | |||
It only poisons my life - becomes a prison I never want to leave<br> | |||
As I drove away over the dead leaves<br> | |||
And merged into the stream of those who know their lines<br> | |||
Stagnant reasons why we travel so far away from our hearts<br> | |||
Like flies caught in jars, little flies buzzing in cars | |||
