Autumn Lullaby

Summer nights, open skies
Watching the waves roll in with the tide
Me laying by your side
On the worn-out blanket from your childhood home
You snapped a photograph
Of me falling asleep
You said I looked pretty
Where is that picture now
Is it framed in you memory?

Summer nights, they drift away to fast
Like the bright green leaves they weren't meant to last

So I sing an autumn lullaby
Goodnight to all the endless skies
That we watched, laying in the sand
Go to sleep, my love, you're tired now
You can always remember how right it felt
When you held his hand
As long as you remember how it ends

Spent our days by the lake
Jumped from the breach I was sure would break
Passenger in your car
Just got your license
Said we go anywhere I want

Summer days, when we felt so free
Not sure if it was the season
Or the thought of you and me

This is my autumn lullaby
Goodnight to all the endless skies
That we watched, laying in the sand
Go to sleep, my love, we're tired now
You can always remember how right it felt
When you held his hand
As long as you remember how it ends

Here's my autumn lullaby
Goodnight to all the endless skies
That we watched, laying in the sand
Go to sleep, my love, you're tired now
You can always remember how right if felt
When you held his hand
As long as you remember how it ends
