Autumn

8. Autumn (6:14)

It is a beautiful Fall day
The sun is dripping down like amber
I am the chalice for your pain
You are the mirror for my anger
All the parts that we disowned
All the fragments tossed away
Left orphaned on the roadside crying
For us to pick them up one day

It is a beautiful Fall day
He doesn’t hit her very often
When he does, she says it’s OK
Everybody’s got their problems
Mama’s beggin’ her to leave
But she can’t get out the door
Says the Devil you can see
Still beats the one that you don’t know

It is a beautiful Fall day
The children’s laughter just reminds him
Of everything that he can’t feel
How trust and innocence betrayed him
So he walks into the school
Tries to make it go away
There are no answers to be found
But I heard somebody say

We all just need love…

It is a beautiful Fall day
The leaves a-flame and dying
I guess I best be on my way
Even the geese are flying
I guess you gave me what you could
But it wasn’t near enough
We try so hard to be so good
We all just need love
