Lyric

The summer days

Their gentle grace has passed

Time flows by

A little too fast

That day

On the other side of the phone

Your trembling voice whispered, “I’m fine alone.”

Goodbye, my beloved, farewell

Goodbye, my beloved, farewell

The colors fade softly into the sky

In shades of goodbye —

Farewell

You loved to slip

Your hand in my pocket

Our warmth became

A quiet sonnet

Our hearts beat close

Like veins in a leaf

Alive with love

Beyond belief

Three years have passed

Without a goodbye

The slanting light

Lets out a sigh

Cold hands in pockets

Eyes closed tight

Dreams return

On a gentle flight

Goodbye, my beloved, farewell

Goodbye, my beloved, farewell

The colors fade softly into the sky

In shades of goodbye —

We twirl as the memories fly

With you, the color of memories fly

I walk the path

Where soft winds lean

I reach for warmth

That can’t be seen

But only cold air

Greets my song

My heart beats slow

As leaves fall long

Shallow rays tilt

The shadows stream

Loneliness stretches

Through the dream

Cold hands in pockets

Eyes closed tight

Memories flicker

Soft and bright

Autumn shades

Whisper through

The path turns

Sepia too
