Autumn rushed away this year No parting shot, no hidden tear You took the season by the hand And led it to your promised land The petals vanished long ago Thorns replacing all you know The blood ran fast in troubled times Or happy days in warmer climes The smile in your photograph The meaning only half and half I talk but don't know what to say No words can bring you here today I know what autumn meant to you Each time I read the words anew A letter written years ago To someone whom you'd never know The mystery is why you are The closest to me, from afar The more I read, the more I learn The more I feel you return You understand this silly mind Solutions that I try to find Thirty years you've been away Yet still you welcome each new day |
