Lyrics

Like the light that's resting on the leaves
Like the scent that's carried on the breeze
Like footsteps in the falling snow
Turn around
It's already gone
There's something kept here that I want to keep
Something hidden I don't want to hide
It rises in me like a tide
I know I've had it so long
I don't want it no more
Under the darkest of winter skies
The trees stood naked and sweet
I walked that land through to the spring
But by harvest time
I was already gone
Maybe her love would have carried me to the end
Maybe she meant every word that she said
Maybe she wasn't just passing time
I don't know
I was already gone
There's something kept here that I want to keep
Something hidden I don't want to hide
It rises in me like a tide
I know when anyone's here
They've already gone
He was that boy who's playing in the sand
The one with a smile for everyone
But even though the night was just beginning
He was already gone
Like the light that's resting on the leaves
The scent that's carried on the breeze
Like her love among the falling snow
Turn around
It's already gone
