When the sun leaves the sky
And the days of autumn are nigh
The time of summer has come to a close
The world chills as the wind blows
The green washes away
Standing tall amongst the roadway
Yellow, leaves a beautiful array
Time for the leaf to say goodbye
"I'll be back please don't cry"
Away it flies
In the winds many sighs
Landing into the waters hug
It stays stuck
Ah, just my luck
The leaf cries
The lakes brim kisses it softly
Please love, be jolly
For in time
You won't be mine
Whisked away, the leaf flies again
But there the lake will remain
Crashing forever in pain
"Wishing for a love that was never mine"
