October Leaves

I stumbled in at 3 a.m. But you didn’t want to I tried again at half past ten You still don’t want to Your hips have this way of saying no way An impenetrable barricade Something I said? Something I did? What’s made you so defensive? Something you heard? Something you learned? The season’s changing, it’s for the worse ( ) You used to call me on your break But you’ve been so busy You used to bring me tomato soup But you keep forgetting As the groundskeeper rakes up the October leaves It occurs to me, trees can’t hide anything Something I said? Something I did? You’ve been acting so distant Something you heard? Something you learned? The trees are barren, the leaves have turned The days when we made it the world was green Now autumn has fallen, everything’s changed October leaves October leaves October leaves October leaves I woke up this morning, you were off to work No kisses, no coffee, no morning paper ( ) "Hey" "Yes?" "Are you sleeping?" "No" "Can I ask you something?" "Yes" "Are you cheating on me?" "No" "Are you lying?"
