|
Summer days turning cold |
|
Summer leaves turn to gold |
|
Summer love gone to sea |
|
Summer birds sound the cry |
|
Restless wings beat the sky |
|
In their flight from the winter's decree |
|
Empty room where she slept |
|
Near the shelf where she kept |
|
Her dreams and her fears |
|
Empty space where she lay |
|
With her head turned away |
|
As the dawn kissed the leaves with its tears |
|
The threads of our lives have become so entwined |
|
The weave of their fiber lies close 'round my mind |
|
And the wonder of her standing there by the shore |
|
Comes back to my mind as I pass by her door |
|
Empty street where we walked |
|
Empty bridge where we talked |
|
In the dusk and the rain |
|
Crimson clouds gone to gray |
|
Mourned the death of the day |
|
As the shadows went softly insane |
|
Summer leaves gone to brown |
|
Morning frost chills the town |
|
With a crystalline shroud |
|
Winter's long, icy hands |
|
Freeze the life from the land |
|
Summer's face getting lost in the crowd |
|
The threads of our lives have become so entwined |
|
The weave of their fiber lies close 'round my mind |
|
And the wonder of her standing there by the shore |
|
Comes back to my mind as I pass by her door |
