Lyric

In the drifting light of day

I still look for your face

Your voice remains in the breeze

Calling only my name

We passed by like seasons do

And I let go without a word

I leaned too much on your grace

And never said what hurt

If I had come back before the leaves turned red

Would I have touched your smile again?

On fallen leaves, our dreams unwind

And quietly sink like time

Staring at the clock alone

I didn’t call, just waited on

Still I remember your ways

But your warmth has long since gone

On the way home I looked above

Felt like we shared the same sky

But those drifting clouds moved on

And I knew we’d say goodbye

If I had spoken before the leaves turned red

Would you have stayed instead of fled?

Cold wind trembles the last refrain

And love becomes a leaf again

I still hear your voice inside

Thought I’d let it fade with time

Seasons change and leaves may fall

But my heart still holds that fall

If I could turn back before the leaves turned red

I’d hold you close and rest my head

In seas of gold, I’d close my eyes

And let our dream drift through the sky
