Falling into Winter

Leaves fall like promises we made Golden light turns cold and grey The wind forgets your name And I forget how to stay Branches bare where once we bloomed The air is thin with things unsaid Sunlight fades too soon Like the warmth we used to share Fall is changing into winter Like the way you changed your mind Trees don’t cry, but I remember Every word you left behind Our love is losing Like daylight at the edge of time I walk through shadows of our days Footsteps echo soft and slow The wind still sings your name But it’s a song I’ll never know Fall is changing into winter Like the way you changed your mind Trees don’t cry, but I remember Every word you left behind Our love is losing Like daylight at the edge of time Snow will cover what we were But I’ll still feel the autumn burn Even silence has a sound When love is falling to the ground
