lyrics

It's autumn again and the white sky is faint
Against the red, yellow, orange and green
A twin row of hedges
The glimpse of the roof
Of a car that is passing between
As we roll up the hill the road slowly reveals
The woods and the valley beneath
We get out of the car
And I trust you to know
You can tell by the shape of the leaf

And our love's come a long way
It's all of our own
It's our tree of knowledge
And it's grown, yes it's grown
Yes, our love's come a long way
Inside me and you
And I know what I'm saying wouldn't do
Not for you
But it's true
And no one else could ever have the hint of a clue

You remember it well, and I don't need tell you
It's present in every detail
Oh it's just like the newspaper astrologers say
This one comes with a sting in his tail
There's a world that is you
Where the almonds are blue
And the fruit fits the palm of the hand
And this secret we've got
It has shot from the very same shrub
No one could understand

And this love's come a long way
Inside me and you
It's our tree of knowledge
And it's true, yes it's true
Yes our love's come a long way
There and then to now and here
And you can't see through the thicket
But what's clear, what is clear
To the eye and ear
Is that no one else has even got the faintest idea

It's autumn again and the white sky is faint
Against the red, yellow, orange and green
A twin row of hedges
The glimpse of the roof
Of a car that is passing between

And our love's come a long way
It's all of our own
It's our tree of knowledge
And it's grown, yeah it's grown
Yes, our love's come a long way
Inside me and you
And I know what I'm saying wouldn't do
Not for you
But it's true
And no one else could ever have the hint of a clue
