You Might Fall
If you were coming in the fallI'd brush the summer byWith half a smile and half a spurnAs housewives do a flyIf I could see you in a yearI'd wind the months in ballsAnd put them each in separate drawersUntil their time befallsIf only centuries delayedI'd count them on my handSubtracting till my fingers droppedInto Van Dieman's landIf certain, when this life was outThat yours and mine should beI'd toss it yonder like a rindAnd taste eternityBut now, all ignorant of the lengths of timeUncertain wing, it goads me likeThe goblin beeThat will not state its stingIf only centuries delayedSongtexteI'd count them on my handSubtracting till my fingers droppedInto Van Diemen's landIf certain, when this life was outThat yours and mine should beI'd toss it yonder like a rindAnd taste eternityIf you were coming in the fallI'd brush the summer byWith half a smile and half a spurnAs housewives do a flyIf only centuries delayedI'd count them on my handSubtracting till my fingers droppedInto Van Diemen's landIf certain, when this life was outThat yours and mine should beI'd toss it yonder like a rindAnd taste eternityIf you were coming in the fallI'd brush the summer byWith half a smile and half a spurnAs housewives do a fly
