I watch autumn leaves tumble down.
They lie prattled on natures floor.
I watch autumn leaves tumble down.
I feel the closing of a door.
Something died and has gone away.
They lie prattled on natures floor
left to rot and slowly decay.
They lie silent in their still death.
Something died and has gone away.
They can no longer take a breath.
They lie silent in their still death
Silent in their state of dismay.
Branches bear, a lover bereft.
They fade slowly into the ground
till not a trace of them is left.
I watch autumn leaves tumble down
branches bare, a lover bereft
