If You Were Coming In The Fall Lyrics by Carla Bruni
Album : No Promises
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
If you were coming in the fall
I'd brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn
As housewives do a fly

If I could see you in a year
I'd wind the months in balls
And put them each in separate drawers
Until their time befalls

If only centuries delayed
I'd count them on my hand
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen's land

If certain, when this life was out
That yours and mine should be
I'd toss it yonder like a rind
And taste eternity

But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing
It goads me, like the goblin bee
That will not state its sting.
If you were coming in the fall   I'd brush the summer by   With half a smile and half a spurn   As housewives do a fly      If I could see you in a year   I'd wind the months in balls   And put them each in separate drawers   Until their time befalls      If only centuries delayed   I'd count them on my hand   Subtracting till my fingers dropped   Into Van Diemen's land      If certain, when this life was out   That yours and mine should be   I'd toss it yonder like a rind   And taste eternity      But now, all ignorant of the length   Of time's uncertain wing   It goads me, like the goblin bee   That will not state its sting.
