Am Dm autumn came around like a drifter to an onramp Am Dm there were wet leaves floating in gutters full of rain. Am Dm took to walking barefoot around town F G melodies from grade school, kicking in my brain.

Am Dm saw you on the crosstown bus today. Am Dm you were reading a magazine. I turned my face away

                 F

       Dm

on dark hillsides

              Am

in the hidden places.

the brakes howled and the bus pulled up near my house and I got off at the corner. pulled my sleeves down over my hands, over my hands. and I wished I was someone else. and I wished it was warmer.

headed for the dark hillsides in the hidden places.
