There's a leaf in the sky and it's floating on by
A new season dawns but something is gone

There are days in the past and days waiting for me
I don't need a visionary in order to see

You can do what you want to me
'Cause I don't have the energy
To retreat or hold ground or barely to stand
But I feel the sting from fate's cruel hand

Like a bond true and pure, we're never quite sure
Our choice in the play, it erodes away

When you can't, can't compete it ends with total defeat
You just let it go so nobody knows you're suffering

You can do what you want to me
'Cause I don't have the energy
To retreat or hold ground or barely to stand
But I feel the sting from fate's cruel hand
