Lyrics Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band – Autumn’s Child
Text:
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams dancing ’round
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams dancing down
Autumn’s child, Autumn’s child
Autumn’s child got a loophole ’round her finger
Halo rings her head
Cornhusk hair makes me linger
A cat’s stare meets my dare
A man’s chair greets my stare
Gonna be my wife, she sang, she said
Ooh, gonna be my wife, gonna spice my life, she said
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams everywhere
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams fill the air
Harvest moon be nimble
Apples bob and tremble
Fish pond streaks love kind
Found the child I have to find
Apples shine share together
Got the time to make her mine
Fish pond streaks love kind
Found the child I had to find
Autumn’s child, I met her at a balloon bust picnic
Ooh, she caught me with the beauty queen
With jade-green eyes
Buttons and bows and fancy ties
The feet of dust under trees of rust
Make them sandals gambol under knees of trust
Gonna be my wife, she sang, she said
Gonna be my wife, gonna spice my life, she said
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams shining down
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams glancin’ ’round
Autumn’s child, Autumn’s child
Autumn’s child, Autumn’s child
