SEPTEMBER 2020

 

 

 

SEEMS ITS TIME AGAIN

 

THE WINDS BLOW

 

AND WAY DOWN BELOW

 

WHERE THE LEAVES ARE FALLING

 

ALL AROUND US

 

GUESS SUMMERS GONE

 

FUNNY HOW TIME GOES BY SO FAST

 

SEEMS TO ME

 

 SUMMERS USED TO LAST

 

SO MUCH LONGER

 

WE SAW THEM THROUGH

 

RIGHT TO THE END

 

IF LOVE WASN'T REAL

 

THEN IT WAS ALL PRETEND

 

HARDLY MAKE BELIEVE

 

THE PAIN WHEN SHE LEAVES

 

SURE FELT REAL

 

SO MANY, SO MUCH

 

WE COULD FEEL

 

JUST TO TRY

 

THE WHEN, THE WHY

 

WILL IT SOAR

 

OR WILL IT DIE

 

JUST FALL AWAY

 

LIKE THE VERY LAST DAY

 

OF SUMMER

 

THE COLOR BLUE GETS DARKER

 

THE SKIES FADE TO GRAY

 

WATCH AS THE BIRDS FLY AWAY

 

LEAVING US BEHIND

 

WHETHER ITS LOST OR KIND 

SO IF WE TRIED

AND IF WE GOT IT RIGHT

THE WORLD GOT SMALL

OR WAS IT BIG AT ALL

WHEN YOU WERE THERE

SOMEWHERE I DIDN'T KNOW

WONDERED IF YOU'D SHOW

TURN MY SUMMER INTO GOLD

OR LEAVE ME HERE IN THE COLD

JUST DISAPPEAR LET GO

FROM A DISTANCE JUST WATCH ME

LOSE CONTROL

IF YOU EVEN TURNED AROUND

TO SEE

WHAT YOU WERE LEAVING BEHIND YOU
