Gleaming

The days are closing in now
What’s taking them so long?
It’s bound to happen sometime
It’s the same for everyone

It’s getting late
I feel afraid
But I have to walk it off
I wish you’d stayed
It slipped away

The dark leaves look so pretty
But my soul is wearing off

Reflections of the streetlights
A gleam of hope above
Like love, they will cease glowing
It's the same for everyone

Dreams torn and frayed
I try to walk them off

I wish you’d stayed
It slipped away

The dark leaves look so pretty
But my soul is wearing off

Leaves are falling from the sky
Charmed by what is left behind
