Leaves 02:46
Up in the treehouse, breeze swinging low I can see all the people, restless below They move with such purpose, unlike me I retired from life to live in the trees The townsfolk below me continue to walk Never dream I’m above, hearing their talk Stay hidden from sight, it’s easier you see The world is so simple, up in the trees Reality passes me by, but that’s just fine A quiet observer of others’ lives My home is in the trees, and all that changes, are the leaves I left the pavements so long ago With a powerful longing not to know It’s only from a distance that it all makes sense I stretch to the sky, but feel so low Reality passes me by, but that’s just fine A quiet observer of others’ lives My home is in the trees, and all that changes, are the leaves

Into Winter 03:23
We watched autumn fall to floor, Tempting your eye for more. How many leaves would you burn for gold, weighing down pockets that you’ve already sold? We watched the frostbite creep down the open gorge Where only the bitterest heather can be forged, How can good, prosper and grow, Through weathered cracks, upon baron stone? When the days are dark and the nights are long And the old cannot go on Metal will not keep you warm, When all you’ve loved is gone. ‘Til shelter crumbles from winds that blow, ‘Til the sleet eats at flesh and bone 'Til the birds no longer call, And all that echoes is rumbling stone. When the days are dark and the nights are long And the dead block out the sun Only then will you want for All that is gone.

Yesterday we changed, Tomorrow will fade the clouds away But for now all I can see is your face, Fallen from grace. In my mind I was younger, To the world I surrendered Now I see you, Through a curtain of rain. Baby I didn’t mean to wash it away but, You made everything grey. All that remains of us now Are forgotten names and places All that’s left to feel, Are our cold, cold cold, cold, feet. And I see you, through a curtain of rain. honey I didn’t mean to wash it away but you made everything grey Tears like rain Growing colder, I grow older, but still I cannot see…. (I can’t see) ….You. It was never the same, Baby I didn’t mean to wash it away but, You made everything grey.
