IF YOU WERE COMING IN THE FALL

CARLA BRUNI

Music:Bruni Carla

Key:

If you were coming in the fall

I'd brush the summer by

With half a smi le and half a spu rn

As housewives do a fl y.

If I could se e you in a year

I'd wind the months in balls

And put them ea ch in separate dr awers

Until their time befa lls.

If only ce nturies delayed

I'd count them o n my ha nd

Subtracting ti ll my fingers dro pped

Into Van Diemen's la nd.

If certain wh en this life was out

That yours and mi ne should b e

I'd toss it yo nder like a ri nd

And taste ete rnity.

But now all i gnorant of the length

Of time's uncertain wing

It goads me li ke the goblin be e

That will not state its sti ng

If only ce nturies delayed

I'd count them o n my ha nd

Subtracting ti ll my fingers dro pped

Into Van Diemen's la nd.

If certain wh en this life was out

That yours and mi ne should b e

I'd toss it yo nder like a ri nd

And taste ete rnity.
