Words like notes
Are strokes along the thigh-
A long slow seduction
On an Autumn night-
When Autumn, was still Autumn
Wait a minute now
Everybody just hold it
Let's think about this
Whoa, whoa now
Ain't there no place away?

And I tryed to hide-
Live there like I used to
But the sadness sent me
Letters every day
Sayin' there's-
There's no place away

Tell me where the hope lies
To bear the world
To bear the destruction
In which we all participate
Tell me where the hope lies
To bear the world
To bear the destruction
In which we all participate
Oh I wanna hear-
Words like notes
Are strokes along the thigh-
A long slow seduction
On an Autumn night-
When Autumn, was still Autumn

Pour me out some hot tea
And build up the fire
We'll sit here and listen
To the ancient choir
Singin', singin', singin', singin', hallelujah
Hallelujah. Hallelujah
