Ask the leaves

On a morning like this, lethargic and indifferent, It is so easy to make me rich, When the pain is moving slowly and smoothly, and I hold on to you, like a monkey, Sob on me, Make me the richest woman in the world, Richer than Hetty Green, Greedier than Hetty Green, Can you see, my dear, how fast it is raining? And the forest, a trickster, is washing its leaves, Pretending that it cares while it is cheating with the rapper. No one tells them that after the colors explode, They will invade their hearts, like big Colonizers, Will put names on them, and play cards, Drink whiskey, laugh, and feed the earth, so after They can ride their horses as a symbol of freedom and kindness, Making donations and digging water wells, On a morning like this, I believe, Our story is like that of the gold seekers, It is so easy to make me rich, Make me the richest woman in the world, Richer than Hetty Green, Greedier than Hetty Green, Dig me, baby, it is in my eyes, Whisper in my ear, While the cold raindrops are touching my face, They are hiding in my hair, on a morning like this, Be my tears, lethargic and indifferent, Ask the leaves, on a morning like this, I hope they do not lose their mind, And will remember me in the spring
