Through Leaves, Over Bridges

And so it erodes from my septum to a numbed aorta

Yet I longed to run as I watched you grow smaller

And finally fade into the long perspective

This time you won't be calling out

So I'll keep on longing, keep on longing

As you keep on walking, I longed to run

We'll never walk together

Through leaves and over bridges

To the sound of bells

Ringing out from that lone tower

Steps strive towards

Yet broken limbs keep this child where he lies

AWOL and choking on the bitter taste of desperation

The leaves still turn

This time you won't be coming back

A lifetime of longing, a lifetime of longing

We all saw it coming, I longed to run

We'll never walk together

Through leaves and over bridges

To the sound of bells

Ringing out from that lone tower

We'll never walk together

Through leaves and over bridges

To the sound of bells

Ringing out from that lone tower

Remember me from time to time

(From time to time)

And all I'd sacrifice in my life

To share just one last walk with you

Remember me, remember virtue

(From time to time)

Remember me, remember me

This time you won't be calling out

So I'll keep on longing as you keep on walking

I won't fade away, I won't fade away

I won't fade away, I long for another day

I won't fade away, I long for another day

I won't fade away, I long for another day

I won't fade away, I long for another day
