Lend me your ear while I call you a fool.
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood,
And later insisted your feelings were true.
The witch's promise was coming;
Believing he listened while laughing you flew.

Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all look the same,
And the love you have found lay outside in the rain.
Washed clean by the water but nursing his pain.
The witch's promise was coming;
And you look and there's where for your own selfish gain.

Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be,
Well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is.
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see.

You won't find it easy now, it's only fair.
He was willing to cater to you, but you didn't care.
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share.
The witch's promise is turning;
So don't you wait up for him, he's going to be late.
