Lyrics Bill Mallonee

Bill Mallonee

It Was Always Autumn In My Heart (but I Could Not Tell You Why)

There's this simple space that lies between

The thing you said and the thing you really mean

And i'm was hoping Maybe god would

Show his face

But i don't know what he'd look like

Or would i recognize her

There's so much we'd have to talk about

Ah, but would i find the words?

Chorus:

It was summer for a spell till the whole thing went to

hell

And really, why should anybody be surprised?

It's always autumn in my heart but i could not tell you

why

That book was heavy from the start

It was more than a i could hold

And me? Well, my eyes caught your heart

And a glimpse into your soul

Oh, to find the brush to render

What our tongues can barely speak

Oh, to find some room to talk in

Where our eyes can truly meet

A 6 string drag through an old tweed amp

Healing spirits and breaking camp

And the high desert kiss, of my girl

And God's face is peaking 'round the door

In that high & lonesome tremolo
