Lost Leaves

Tumbling toward an ending

You were floating through this town

And I called a name you remembered

But I let you down

Fumbling to find my matches

I don't see without the light

In the glow you cast long a shadow

It ran toward the night

My knee felt the floor

All your leaves are lost

Burned by this frost

Take some time to tally your cost

You were never small

To me, you were tall

Raise a hand to break your fall

Drifting down a hallway

In this place we could not stay

Every promise fails its feeling

The walls turn to gray

All your leaves are lost

Burned by this frost

Take some time to tally your cost

You were never small

To me, you were tall

Raise a hand to break your fall

All these words unsaid

See where they led
