Goodbye
to Summer
Summer turns her back to the world
Leaving dead roses stripped naked to the sky.
And the sun fades but never sets,
While frosty mists come to claim
The darkness setting in.
Leaving dead roses stripped naked to the sky.
And the sun fades but never sets,
While frosty mists come to claim
The darkness setting in.
By
the time she left,
Her smile had come and gone.
And in its absence the rain became
A sign the world had changed.
Her smile had come and gone.
And in its absence the rain became
A sign the world had changed.
Crisp
leaves shiver
And huddle together
In a puddle filled with tears.
Remembering the day they fell from grace
And were forced to face their fears.
And huddle together
In a puddle filled with tears.
Remembering the day they fell from grace
And were forced to face their fears.
When morning comes the
frosty mist
Shall come again to claim
The remnants of a memory,
To keep, should Summer come again.
Shall come again to claim
The remnants of a memory,
To keep, should Summer come again.
