If Only

As the dim light of the sunset

Breeds a glow to match her gaze

It could light up all the laugh lines

From our warn and better days

But now the air hangs heavy

With the skies all turning gray

While the autumn rain commences

I can't help but turn away

Something else is always 'round the corner

Shocking but it sure ain't no surprise

If only I could make it back to warn her

If only I could see her one more time

Every chill forged through in autumn

With some colours trained to fade

To a snow bed made in winter

Showing off their last parades

Her eyes, they aren't so soft now

So instead they speak their age

In youthful love and memory

When unwritten sat the page

Something else is always 'round the corner

Shocking but it sure ain't no surprise

If only I could make it back to warn her

If only I could see her one more time

BACK
