Leaves All Yellow

She been waiting there
She don't like the color of her hair
Says she don't care
But she don't like what she sees in the mirror

She goes to the car looks around and
Starts tapping on the wheel
Just to try and calm her nerves
She's standing outside the door
There's someone watching from behind the gate
Can she escape?

The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
(I hope there's heaven - waiting for the ones that are hurting)
She don't want no touch of a man
She said that she's been doing fine
Alone on this Monday morning ride
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow

I hope there's heaven - waiting for the ones that are hurting
Alone on this Monday morning ride
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow

He's been waiting there
He always loved the color of her hair
Say's he don't care
No one ever said that life is fair

He approaches her now from across the yard
Takes another breath and he hits her hard
And he knows that she will never come back again

The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
(I hope there's heaven - waiting for the ones that are hurting)
She don't want no touch of a man
She said that she's been doing fine
Alone on this Monday morning ride
The autumn air has turned the leaves all yellow
