D A G
[verse]
D A G
The leaves have turned and she has known
D A G
And she tells me she can't let him go
D A G
And she looks to the moon for answers
D A G
And she looks inside and she knows
[verse]
She dresses by the window
Finds reflection in the pane
She looks towards the winter
And her hair falls around her like rain
[chorus]
F#m D
She's sighing with September
F#m A
She would like to run and hide
F#m D
She's wrapped up in confusion
F#m D
She unfolds like paper dolls
A
But she's flying as she falls
[verse]
The birds have gone and she has known,
For she follows the arc of their flight
And the softness has gone from the daylight
And the shadows have grown into night
[chorus]
[verse]
Soon will come cool October
It will rise all around her like fire
And she gathers her courage like harvest
And she gathers her thoughts and desires
[chorus]

She will not run and hide
D G

She will

She will be flying as she falls
