"Fallen Leaves," from The Deep Dark Woods' forthcoming album Yarrow, gushes acetone and saline, burning and cleansing the memory of lovely Annie, dead and gone. The song is a sideways pass at recreating the sound of country keyboard legend Augie Meyers.

Lyrics:
Down in the yonder valley where the roses fade and bloom
I buried my lovely Annie so lonesome in her tomb
The morning light was fading there I sat and grieved
With the thousand and thousand of fallen leaves.

She dies without a warning she didn’t even make a sound
Although my heart is breaking in Gloryland she’s bound
I’ll live my life in morning all along the trees
And the thousands and thousands of fallen leaves.

The birds they sing in the morning but lonesome is their song
Ever since she left me the nights have been so long
Lord don’t you hear me calling, Lord won’t you set me free
Like the thousands and thousands of fallen leaves.

I’m torn and I’m broken, I’m lonesome and so blue
On the 14th day of April I was gonna marry you
But now you’re dead and you're buried all among the trees
And the thousands and thousands of fallen leaves.
