[Verse 1]
I heard a whisper on a rainy day
"Coach, I don't hear what I have to say"
I am the cause, I am the autumn moon
And I bring those chains that hangs around 'til June
[Chorus]
Don't follow me on my way down
Ooh, I didn't rose for thorns on the ground
Listen to the song that the spring piper plays
Just around the bend we will finally wake
[Verse 2]
Mockingbird high in the willow tree
Black dog standing right next to me
Summer breeze sings out and calls my name
But it's too early 'fore the seasons change
[Chorus]
Don't follow me on my way down
Ooh, I didn't rose for thorns on the ground
Listen to the song that the spring piper plays
Just around the bend we will finally wake
[Verse 3]
My brother lays in an open grave
Just past the brook on a winter's day
Look at the trees and how they bend and sway
Right past the moon is the light of day
[Chorus]
Don't follow me on my way down
Ooh, I didn't rose for thorns on the ground
Listen to the song that the spring piper plays
Just around the bend we will finally wake
Don't follow me on my way down (Oh, don't follow me down, no, no)
Ooh, I didn't rose for thorns on the ground (I didn't rose for thorns on the ground)
Listen to the song that the spring piper plays (the spring piper plays)
Just around the bend we will finally wake
