Sam Draper - Leaves 2007 Lyrics

Hello my sweet I've been looking out for you
'Cos you make it look so easy
When you shake off those blues
And when I close my eyes
In the middle of conversations
I try to grow leaves
I try to grow leaves

I didn't know you could do that
With a normal pack of cards
And I didn't know it came
In quite so many colours
When I come back in the room
And all I see are faces 1-3
I start to grow leaves
I start to grow leaves

Hello my sweet the moment's gone
And now how does it feel
To be back out of fashion
Where you belong
I gave you all the water
And the food that you would need
But you never grew leaves

I opened all the windows
And the sun shined bright all day
Because I used all of my powers
To make the rain stay away
But no matter how I tried
No matter how much I cared
You never grew leaves
You never grew leaves for me

Come in and come back
Your time is up
You had a good trip
But the tide is going out
And we don't like to ride past sunset
Sitting on my hands
Swallowing my tongue
You start to grow leaves

And if you'd made your mind up
And just fell back in to line
We could accept this and move on
But just when I had given up
And left you for the mammals
You start to grow leaves
You start to grow leaves for me
