She smiled, said she loved the fall
The color on the trees and the falling leaves
I smiled back, leaning against the wall
We didn’t know it, but the two of us were thieves

She stole my heart, locking it away
All it took was the look in her eyes
I stole her youth, turning her to gray
All it took was the stress from my lies

If only there was a way to make time rewind
For you know I would spend my last dime
To give you a chance to see inside my mind
Maybe we wouldn’t falter like wind chimes

You turn to me and say you’re starving, and hungry for another bed
Lover please…. don’t be a memory
Relinquish me from all these feelings I dread
If our love is ******, charge me as an accessory

She smiled, said she loved the winter
The bright lights and the falling snow
I smiled back, holding the door for her to enter
Another stranger to get to know
