Leaves

There was a time,

A time before the fall,

When love was something real -

And it did fall

Like gentle rain on dappled fields,

I had faith,

Faith in the whole deal,

The world did turn in vast magnetic

fields

And we believed it all was ours.

When did we wander off through the

leaves and the shadows?

Will my heart be there where I left it

so long ago?

Is it right

That love should have to heal

The wounds we made with no apparent

need?

Should we not pay for all our deeds?

Is it fair

That we should have to stay?

The world might turn and then just

roll away.

Do we need someone to blame

When we just wandered off through

the leaves and the shadows?

Will my heart be there where I left it

so long ago?
