I stood out on the road |
|
and I watched as you were leaving. |
|
The leaves were dancing oranges and reds |
|
and they circled all around me like confetti on fire. |
|
They were nothing when compared to the burning in my head. |
|
I was lost, I was gone, |
|
I was falling for you. |
|
That summer came and went. |
|
You were working for my family, |
|
one more job and then your classes would begin. |
|
And you promised we'd be quiet, |
|
and we hid behind the garden. |
|
I walked out more than a woman than I walked in. |
|
And I was lost, I was gone, |
|
I was falling. |
|
I was lost, I was gone, |
|
I was falling for you. |
|
I went down to the church, |
|
I offered my confession. |
|
I swore I'd never do it again, |
|
I swore I learned my lesson. |
|
Oh, but every year when the leaves appear |
|
your memory comes sweet and clear. |
|
I never will forget you |
|
and I never will regret you. |
|
I was lost, I was gone, I was falling. |
|
I was lost, I was gone, I was falling. |
|
I stood out on the road and I watched as you were leaving. |
|
The leaves were dancing oranges and reds. |
