Inspired by Manchester's atmospheric Angel Meadow park.

lyrics

The autumn leaves
Are falling from the trees
But you're not here with me
To walk around and see
No you're not here with me
To walk and see

The autumn leaves
Are crackling all around
Carpet of red and brown
On the ground
But you're not here with me
To walk and feel

Well you can write it up in books
Like everything that you have known
Put it in your diary
Like everything that you have found
But you're not here with me
To walk and feel

I chose you a leaf
To show you what I found
Took it inside
But it shrivelled up and died
But you're not here with me
To walk and feel

Well you can write it up in books
Like everything that you have found
Put it in your diary
Like everything that you have found
But you're not here with me
You're not here with me
