"The Real World"

[00:15.40] I saw the autumn leaves

[00:17.87] Peel up off the street

[00:21.14] Take wing on a balmy breeze

[00:23.89] And sweep you off your feet

[00:27.05] And you blushed as they scooped you up

[00:29.80] On sugar maple wings

[00:33.16] To gaze down on the city below

[00:35.92] Ablaze with wondrous things

[00:39.43] Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere

[00:45.19] Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't wanna live there

[00:55.37] I wouldn't wanna live there

[01:03.30] Weighed down by heavy lids

[01:05.78] And lunar lullabies

[01:09.32] I knew you were wide awake

[01:11.47] 'Cause you smile with your eyes

[01:15.24] Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere

[01:21.24] Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't wanna live there

[01:27.51] From the green belt balcony

[01:30.06] The wildfires look so pretty

[01:33.19] Ponderosa canopy

[01:35.68] I’d never leave if it were up to me

[01:39.46] To the ruby redwood tree

[01:42.19] And to the velvet climbing ivy

[01:45.30] Painted all mahogany

[01:47.56] I’d never leave if it were up to me

[01:55.08] (If it were up to me)

[02:02.70] With a starry brush

[02:04.95] Paint the dusk venetian blue

[02:07.95] 'Cause in the evening hush

[02:10.63] You’ll never believe the view

[02:13.63] And when the leaves return

[02:16.40] And their whisperings fill the night

[02:19.15] They’ll freeze and burn

[02:21.91] Where fire and ice collide

[02:27.89] Where fire and ice collide

[02:36.22] Can you feel a silk embrace in the satin air?

[02:41.99] If we dissolve without a trace

[02:45.97] Will the real world even care?

[02:48.13] Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere

[02:54.38] Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't wanna live there

[03:04.30] I wouldn't wanna live there

[03:12.20] I saw the autumn leaves

[03:14.94] Peel up off the street

[03:18.21] Take wing on a balmy breeze

[03:20.94] And sweep you off your feet
