Banksia

[Verse 1]
I'm so sorry
I’m not sure if you liked the banksias, I never asked you
It's all running
All worry and rushing, so I hope they gave you a moment
A brief final chance to dance all the dances you had
With the people who loved you
The street sits so quiet, the wind doesn't move

[Chorus]
The banksias fall as I’m walking home for you
The banksias fall, they're bright red and gold for you
Maybe it's their time of year, or maybe they knew
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you

[Verse 2]
I knew you as happy
A loveable rogue, toothy smile, set for salt and for stone
So I hope you were happy
I hope someone you loved
Held you close when the fog sat too low
And all of the roses will be too white
'Cause twenty years old's too soon for goodbye

[Chorus]
And the banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
The banksias fall, they're bright red and gold for you
Maybe it’s their time of year, or maybe they knew
The banksias fall as I’m walking home for you

[Bridge]
It's too early to be closing your story
The pages are aching to change
But I wish that you knew we’re all singing for you
From the front to the back, they're all singing for you

[Chorus]
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
The banksias fall, they're bright red and gold for you
Maybe it’s their time of year, but I think that they knew
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you

[Outro]
I'm so sorry, it wasn't your time
Find some peace in the quiet of night
