Cherry blossoms fall
Scattering petals across the pond
They drift a little,
Spin a little,
Land and correct course
Setting sail with the wind.
A girl and a boy meet
At a club
Dancing all night
Whilst the cherry blossoms fall
And sail under the moon
They cross the bridge near the pond
Watch as the petals fall
A foreshadowing from nature
So obvious, if you know where to look
But they were blind.
They grew up together,
Married at the age of 27
As the petals scattered.
***
Years down the track...
***
A drunken man, a ********** girl
A divorce so imminent
The tears fall as the anger rages
The petals the only evidence.
That something, some force knew,
They were never meant to be
And they turn their backs and set sail
As the wind continues to blow
On opposite paths they will walk
And the petals fall under the moonlit glow

Cherry blossoms fall
Scattering petals across the pond
They drift a little,
Spin a little,
Land and correct course
Setting sail with the wind.
A girl and a boy meet
At a club
Dancing all night
Whilst the cherry blossoms fall
And sail under the moon
They cross the bridge near the pond
Watch as the petals fall
A foreshadowing from nature
So obvious, if you know where to look
But they were blind.
They grew up together,
Married at the age of 27
As the petals scattered.

Years down the track...

A drunken man, a ********** girl
A divorce so imminent
The tears fall as the anger rages
The petals the only evidence.
That something, some force knew,
They were never meant to be
And they turn their backs and set sail
As the wind continues to blow
On opposite paths they will walk
And the petals fall under the moonlit glow
