I can't look at you everyday
And absorb the changes that we've made
Do me a favor and be on your way
You make it harder when you stay
Do not grace me with your sympathy
Or embrace me with arms of pity
You make me crazy when you look at me that way
With eyes of curiosity and worry
Chorus:
Bury me beneath September leaves
I won't mind the cutting cold of the breeze
Leave me there till the frost quiets the trees
I can feel the fall coming on
I know you don't understand this completely
And I'm so sorry that I can't find the words
It's like I'm picking up pieces of me
That are scattered all over the world
I can't give you what you need
Takes everything I've got just to eat, sleep, and breathe
I can't give you what you want
When I don't even know what I've got
Chorus:
Bury me beneath September leaves
I won't mind the cutting cold of the breeze
Leave me there till the frost quiets the trees
I can feel the fall coming on
