Name: Leaves In Autumn
Duration: P00H05M15S
Description: More of my many musings on mortality. As time goes on, it becomes a subject kind of hard to ignore. So many friends have stepped off into space. I think that there were three in a month when I wrote this one, so I hope I can be forgiven for it. That said, I think it's also one of my better songs.

More of my many musings on mortality. As time goes on, it becomes a subject kind of hard to ignore. So many friends have stepped off into space. I think that there were three in a month when I wrote this one, so I hope I can be forgiven for it. That said, I think it's also one of my better songs.

lyrics

LEAVES IN AUTUMN

One more phone call, one more post
One more friend who's lost in time
One more memory, one more ghost
Gone up hills that I've yet to climb

I'm just sitting here alone
Wondering what it's all about
Outside the window seasons change
Inside here, with my hopes and doubts

Life in this world has its price
Everybody knows the score
The air is chill in late November
Not pretending anymore

There's a story the wind is telling
As I'm watching the threads untwine
But we're falling like the leaves in Autumn
And there's no one who should be surprised
Oh, there's so many paths to take yet
And so many songs still unrhymed
But we're falling like the leaves in Autumn
And I know I'm not far behind
Yeah, we're falling like the leaves in Autumn
And I know I'm not far behind

Saw the moon come out tonight
Strange reflections in the lake
Thoughts of where I'm headed now
Down this path we all must take

Life in this world has its price
Everybody knows the score
The air is chill in late November
Not pretending anymore

There's a story the wind is telling
As I'm watching the threads untwine
But we're falling like the leaves in Autumn
And there's no one who should be surprised
Oh, there's so many paths to take yet
And so many songs still unrhymed
But we're falling like the leaves in Autumn
And I know I'm not far behind
Yeah, we're falling like the leaves in Autumn
And I know I'm not far behind

about

Beowulf Kingsley Grass Lake Charter Township, Michigan

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
