The tree's shake The wind blows The gutter aches And the house groans. I can hear it all The roof tiles are moving, In the breeze The leaves rustling, And my heart will freeze Just for a moment Only for a second I close my eyes, I feel vulnerable And scared. My families asleep It's ten forty four And just like in the horror movies I fear someone will knock on my door. But I close my eyes And roll over in bed And just keep saying to myself "It's all in my head" And it's too my surprise, That I realise That its just, The autumn breeze.
