Leaves are falling
the light and I are fading
time is slipping
into infinite darkness
rain falls, a sad melody
I whisper questions
waiting for answers
the bell tolls
over and over
as time slips slowly away
the leaves are falling
their sorrow lyrical
sad like a thousand sighs
from shivering trees
you took my heart
I whispered a question
and I know
I will hear no answer
on the wind
