Dead leaves falling, comin’ down like rain
I hear their rhythm, on my window pane
Batten down the hatch, turn the lamp down low
Long as you’re with me, I don’t care if the cold wind blows
Used to hide my conscience, in a long necked bottle
Catch my teardrops, in a whisky glass
Batten down the hatch, turn the lamp down low
Long as you’re with me, I don’t care if the cold wind blows
Never knew how deep, the diamond shines
So deeply buried, in a veil of lies
The earth’s iron bound, ‘neath a steel grey sky
Storm clouds coming, like the Devil’s bride
Nothin’ ain’t for nothin’, that’s what the wise men say
For every dream, there’s a price to pay
Batten down the hatch, turn the lamp down low
Long as you’re with me, I don’t care if the cold wind blows
The wind of truth, blows down a hard road,
I swear it’s lonesome as an unmarked grave
Batten down the hatch, turn the lamp down low
Long as you’re with me, I don’t care if the cold wind blows
