A Red Goodbye

Lifted by the breeze, flutter, whirling past the trees, I watch a little leaf fly on over your head. If you are near to me, maybe someday we will see That sadness and misery will vanish in the sky. I should have said what I couldn't say About meeting you that autumn's day.

The love that bloomed while all else is dead, Paints the memories behind my eyes Stumbling blind, I start to make my way, I fall behind, as dark dissolves the day. Here, down on the ground, filled with sighs Lips covered with the thing that I didn't say

"Red leaves begun to fade that day"

Learn by heart: tap a gap

Lifted by the breeze, flutter, past the trees,
I watch a leaf fly on over your head.
