Song Lyrics

Hey, can't you feel the rain fall down
And can't you see the leaves, they're covering the ground
The days draw down to winter
Persephone's gone underground
To the one who loves her

And at night, the winds blow you away
From our home, into the fields of white and grey
And the light drains from the windows
Into the shining street
And then fades away beneath your feet

And here we are, and here we stay
Where the river turns in its bed and then flows away
And the silence reigns as I have nothing more to say
My memories of you fading by the day

I walk around this room, listening for your step
And if I close my eyes, I dream I can feel your breath
And then the phone rings, oh its someone for you dear
But you can't come to the phone, ever again

I look out into the night, you're waiting there for me
Behind the curtain of everything that I can see
But you are lost to me now, swimming at the bottom of the sea
I am alone as a man can possibly be

And here we are, and here we stay
Where the river turns in its bed and then flows away
I'm standing on my feet, you are lying on the shelf
And in that small dark urn, is the best part of myself

Oh, it's time for you to go
My life is passing by, much too slow
And I, I must stop living this lie
Oh I, I too must say goodbye
And cry, and die
Then from the mountain I will sing, high
