lyrics

You've fallen down several times
A trap set in the hollow
Staring right up through the hole
A dead end that you followed
Yet you can't help notice that you're smiling
Autumn in the season of your training
Oh...I know

You're steering down the wrong course
The water here's too shallow
Still you must track down the source
The secret fields lie fallow
And though the southern geese
Always return to home
You're thinking now you've lost the trail

You know the crime is victimless
A waste of time in searching
Well there's no shame in telling us
You never found out anything
