[Verse 1]
Baby we are falling falling falling from the trees
No we are not dead swallows we are gold and crimson old oak leaves
When we go we go we go we go so easily

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh a gentle wind from where we’ve been to the river waiting swift and swollen

[Chorus]
Going, going, farewell tender hearts

[Verse 2]
Why oh why oh why oh why’d your mother love that man?
Rumple minze and cheap cologne, tobacco on his yellowed hands
Left his pain and anger on you, like a flaming brand

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh a gentle wind from where we’ve been to the river waiting swift and swollen

[Chorus]
Going, going, farewell tender hearts

[Verse 3]
Oh the pain is going going, feel it melt away
Apparitions stumbling they’re stunned by the reflected rays
Bitter ghosts they toast the good old tormented days
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh a gentle wind from where we’ve been to the river waiting swift and swollen

[Chorus]
Going, going, farewell tender hearts

[Outro]
Let me go, let me go
Just let me go, just let me go, just let me go
Just let me go, just let me go, just let me go
See how that river go, see how that river go, see how that river go
See how that river go, see how that river go, see how that river go
See how that river go, see how that river go, see how that river go
See how that river go, see how that river go, see how that river go
