lyrics

Damn these leaves keep blowing on the ground
damn this fire keeps smoldering and won't go out

and you're often on my mind
but you're continents away this time
but not for long....

there's an animal inside my heart
and it's too primal to know why we should be apart

daylight comes and then it's gone
shines it's light on things for me, but not for long
but not for long....

don't be bitter, nothing last forever
please be patient, heed these ruminations

here's an article of faith you see
now I don't believe a word you say
about you and me

still, you're often on my mind
though the consequences change with time

If our youth is coming to an end
take my hand and walk with me
we'll go to it and then

I'll go first and you will see
if you choose to stay
at least then I'll be free
but not for long....
