LEAVING

I could not reach you
when I saw you standing there
and I could not teach you
things you did not share
poisoned clouds have darkened my sight
I'm broken down all inside
From far too far I hear you calling
but I'm deaf and I'm only falling
Where are you going
now that I can't move my feet
why are you glowing
who sowed in you that new seed
I'm shivering with cold and call out your name
but this mighty feeling is hard to tame
From far too far I hear you calling
but I'm deaf and I'm only falling
The end of the fall
takes the last leaves to the ground
and you grew too tall
to see in what a mess I can be found
the ashes of love have suffocated anew
our dreams while awaiting the dew
From far too far I hear you calling
but I'm deaf and I'm only falling
The seasons will change
for a new Spring to come we're heading
but who will rearrange
the ashes the wind is spreading
morning after morning the sun will arise
from a darkness of pain in disguise
From far too far I hear you calling
but I'm deaf and I'm only falling
