|
The night soon claims the day, |
|
Shadows grow long where I lay, |
|
I watch the sunlight dance off my wall |
|
As leaves fall down in vain. |
|
I had you on my mind, |
|
I think I see you sometimes |
|
I smile when I think of that Betsey dress, |
|
And that night when we were a mess. |
|
So fade, fade away |
|
I'm going to watch it fade away |
|
Into Remembrance Day. |
|
I saw you standing there, |
|
Unraveling in the autumn air, |
|
You're going to ask if I'm painting again, |
|
And I'll ask if you write much these days |
|
And you still laugh the same |
|
We still laugh without shame, |
|
But in between words, a silence ensues, |
|
And I know, I'm losing you |
|
(Chorus) |
|
If this is the last time we meet, |
|
Then it's strange how I'll never see, |
|
Your life's familiar mystery, |
|
That once unfolded for me... |
|
(Chorus) |
