The leaves are dancing
Moved by the summer breeze
The boys are playing and laughing by the trees
I rock my chair slowly
No one could take this moment from me

The bells are ringing
Can't seem to hear them now
I call out for them
The clouds are getting darker now
Don't play these silly games
Dinner's getting colder, my dears

Night has fallen
The Moon can't light my way to you, oh no
The skies weep as the worst of my dreams are comin' true
The shadows came and took you out of sight
No hope for guiding light
My sinking heart does no more than survive

Winter is colder
With no hand to hold
Faces passing by in a blur
They've no thought for me
Just some blind regret
Can we just skip this story
To the end?

Stars paint what I gazed at when I saw you last
Tears all burn in
Fires of our future past

On the road I feel your souls inside me bloom, my darlings
I sigh and breathe in the petrichor of early June
I see your lights that guide me through the night, stronger with every sight
I close my eyes to feel you one last time
