Leaf Fall Is Over

There is no spell that you can cast

To slow time's march

Leaf fall is over

They grew, they fell, so fast

There is no spell that you can cast

 

I close my eyes and dive into the darkness

Away, away from this fragile failing frame

But I open them to this room

How did I get here so soon?

How did I get here so soon?

 

A golden evening long since passed

A whole life ahead

The final rays and then the fade

To this single bed

One setting sun

Two silhouettes

 

All I want is to escape but I cannot run

Away, away from this shadow I've become

Where looking back is all I do

How did I get here so soon?

How did I get here so soon?

 

I close my eyes and dive into the darkness

Away, away from this fragile failing frame

But I open them to this room

How did I get here so soon?

How did I get here so soon?
