Echos of Autumn

I need a little time
Beneath the amber trees and autumn skies
I'm afraid to say goodbye
And truth be told the memories flood my eyes

The garden echos cold whispers of the deep dark reminiscent night
Yet Luna's tender glow weaves luster dreams of silver light

Each day a hue, a stroke of grace
Life's canvas is a rare and vibrant space
But as the paint begins to dry, still
I'm haunted by the thought of our final thrill

When seasons turn, threads untwine the tapestry of our love and life connection
Strangers and friends, like stars, fade with dawn's gentle affection
In the dance with time, our youth's abound a fleeting terse plea
Like the leaves, we fall adrift at the season's mercy

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

I'm not lost over the garden wall
Don't fear winter, but what's lost when she falls
In the sea where our memories loll
Time's restless current echos a distant call

The clock strikes midnight and hammers in the hint that we always knew
Now a cold blanket covers the ice that once was morning dew

Sunset whispers in fading light
Chasing shadows of our laughter into night
With every step towards the closing door
I cling to these moments, forevermore

In the silence, we hear a symphony of bittersweet
I dance with ghosts in a soft ballet of our heartbeat's last retreat

A bitter winter comes, and in her wake a warm spring sunray
Yet, never shall those leaves turn the same as on that autumn day

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Na-da-da, ta, ta, ta-ra-ta
Ta-ra-ra-ra, ta, ta-ra-ra-ra

In the dance with time, our youths abound a fleeting terse plea
Like the leaves, we fall adrift at the season's mercy

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

Like the leaves, we fall adrift
At the season's tender gaze
Never shall these leaves turn out
Same as on those autumn days

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

I'm not scared of what's to come
I'm afraid to say goodbye
To all I've loved, to everyone
To try in vain, to feel this way again
Farewell blue sky
