Seasons of Love - Autumn Parting
It was time to part, though we were sad
To leave you in that god-forsaken place
Strewn about with random luggage.
We watched the lights of hope and fear
Pursue each other on your face
As you started on your big adventure.
When we walked around the lake
Its unruffled calm deceived us all
With thoughts that winter would be long delayed.
Autumn barely lit a spark of gold
Among the weary leaves of summer.
But we returned to our deserted house
To find our memories growing old;
Like cobwebs round your empty bed and chair.
While silent hours hung like heavy folds.
Autumn shadows sidle through the air,
The leafless twigs are decked with glistening tears,
And winter lurks outside our window panes.
