| 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) |
