Fools’ Gold Lyrics by Alix Apples

Autumn Yellow

2019

The morning sun is ne’er as bright
Just a lonely flicker of light
Cast alone a still dark sky
And tasked to shed the night
Tasked to shed the night
When I was young the sky was clear
As no clouds had yet come near
I’m not yet old but grey at heart
Dreams decay when met with fear
Dreams decay when met with fear
As I grew in came a storm
Sent to mock when I was born
The sky did cry, the wind did groan
Carried away what I’d yet to mourn
Carried away what I’d yet to mourn
On a cliff I met a man
Rеaching out a wicked hand
Wanting control, and to possess
The warrior I know I am
Thе warrior I know I am
I am scorned for being she
Told there are ways that I must be
Behave as thus and speak no foul
Laws dictate I bend to thee
Laws dictate I bend to thee
But in the night I do not sleep
Rain may fall, but I won’t weep
Remember this, and know it well
If I am slain, you’ll cut as deep
If I am slain, you’ll cut as deep
For the day she dies with me
The evening sun, it sets at last
As the day is laid to rest
For it is old, the night blooms grey
Darkness descends when light fades fast
Darkness descends when light fades fast
