| Lyrics | When, whenever Paul thinks of rain Swallows fall in a wave And tap on his window with their beaks And when Paul thinks of snow Soft winds blow round his head And the phone rings just once Late at night, like a bird calling out "Won't you wake up, Paul? Don't be scared, don't believe you're all alone" "Wake, wake up Paul," whisper clouds rolling by And the seeds falling from the branches [Outro] (x2) Out from the branches, and they're Falling from the branches of the treesYou might also like |
