Leaves of sorrow, fall down on you The night around you, as it found you, covered in a lacy dew Are you dreaming, or are you sad That every day finds another way of telling you: it can’t be had
The unlit path of least resistance led right through you It passed while making darkness in your bright-shining mood You carry days like crosses and you never say a word Cause we’re no longer living in another world
Time is passing and birds fly on Onwards to horizons with a cold and lightless sun Your blind eyes now are wide eyes and don’t regret The things you haven’t done or things you didn’t get
Sing me softly A lullaby As the willows weep your tears on me at night
