[Verse 1]

The autumn leaves were falling down
The grass was turning into brown
We smiled, we laughed, we cried, and I
Woke up with you there by my side

[Verse 2]

The fog of that October morn
Like smoke we breathed out nights before
You were cold, I kept you warm
I surrender what I swore

[Verse 3]

The sun had shone your skin so bright
Like you're the moon that lights the sky
Like souls long for an afterlife
I'll yearn for you another nights

[Verse 4]

I lived, I loved, I died like ghosts
For moments on the telephone
You taught me how to love alone
You made this perfect world my home
[Verse 5]

We may not live a joyous life
But peace, my dear, is brought by thine
Eyes for which I see not yet
Hear, peace lies with impermanence

[Verse 6]

Coffee mugs, banana bread
Mundane books we never read
Tall stories, old as oldest time
Serve us blind to naked eyes

[Verse 7]

I'm selfish, this I say to you
You got me reaching like a fool
I cannot touch, I dare not try
For if I should what shall I find?

[Verse 8]

A heart that pumps blood, not for mine?
A leaf that is not from my vine?
A magic had explained to me?
An Ivory not so rare or sweet?
