Autumn Afternoon

Two birds swoop in flight
Lost in delight
Racing through the branches
Two leaves gliding down
See them swirling round
As all of nature dances

Woe, woe

Save for a lonely soul like me
From the inside looking outside
Reflectively
Here on an autumn afternoon
What comes together, is we could never
Make up too soon (It’s been)
Too many nights and too many days
Longing for you in so many ways

instr

What the sky is to a cloud
As the cloud is to rain
As the rain to a river
That flows up to the fawn
As the dark greets the dawn
Where there’s one there’s the other

Woe, woe

You are the open space in my eye
Through which all vision with such precision
Makes me sigh
Here on an autumn afternoon
What comes together, is we could never
Make up too soon (It’s been)
Too many nights and too many days
Longing for you in so many ways
Longing for you in so many ways
