Fallen Leaves

Verse 1

I spoke in ways the wind would scatter

Never knew the weight of what I’d done

Your eyes were quiet pools of water

Reflecting back a colder sun

Pre-Chorus

Every step I took away from you

Was a stone I cast across the stream

Chorus

I’m sorry for the lines I crossed

For the gentle things I lost

If I could mend the threads I fray

I’d bring the light back to your day

Verse 2

Your voice now drifts like distant thunder

Breaking through a heavy sky

I reach but find my hands go under

Where the current pulls our ties

Pre-Chorus

Every step I took away from you

Was a stone I cast across the stream

Chorus

I’m sorry for the lines I crossed

For the gentle things I lost

If I could mend the threads I fray

I’d bring the light back to your day

Bridge

If time would turn these fallen leaves

Back into branches green with spring

I’d walk with you beneath their shade

And never let you feel that sting

Outro

So here I stand, the rain between

Hoping you will know I’ve seen

The weight of all I put you through

And how my heart still beats for you
