Carla Bruni - If You Were Coming in the Fall lyrics
[Carla Bruni - If You Were Coming in the Fall lyrics]
If you were coming in the Fall
I'd brush the Summer by
With half a smile, and half a spurn
As Housewives do, a Fly
If I could see you in a year
I'd wind the months in balls -
And put them each in separate Drawers
For fear the numbers fuse -
If only Centuries, dalayed
I'd count them on my Hand
Subtracting, till my fingers dropped
Into Van Dieman's Land
If certain, when the life was out -
That yours and mine, should be
I'd toss it yonder, like a Rind
And take Eternity -
But, now, uncertain of the length
Of this, that is between
It goads me, like the Goblin Bee -
That will not state - it's sting
I'd brush the Summer by
With half a smile, and half a spurn
As Housewives do, a Fly
If I could see you in a year
I'd wind the months in balls -
And put them each in separate Drawers
For fear the numbers fuse -
If only Centuries, dalayed
I'd count them on my Hand
Subtracting, till my fingers dropped
Into Van Dieman's Land
If certain, when the life was out -
That yours and mine, should be
I'd toss it yonder, like a Rind
And take Eternity -
But, now, uncertain of the length
Of this, that is between
It goads me, like the Goblin Bee -
That will not state - it's sting
