Malachite Memories

As autumn comes
Red leaves fall to the ground
Memories falling down
Clouds hide the sun
Cold rain is pouring down
(Something’s been bothering me, but I don’t know what it is, so…)
Stay with me
Please don’t go
(I’ll let it go, and let tears like rain flow)

Today I found
A rotting willow tree
And heard the sound of weeping
Yesterday seemed
A haunting lullaby
Years were lost
Gone with time

Sit in the shade
Please rest a little while
(Your face haunts me in my dreams, but I don’t know who you are, so…)
Find what’s lost
With a smile
(I’ll nevеr know what pain’s haunting you so)
I want to know
What I have left behind
(Stеal me from my reverie, and show me things I should never know)
I can’t recall
My own life
(The world will show as I try to let go)

Wasting away on cold autumn day
Won’t you spare me the details for just one more day?
‘Cause I can’t stand the memories
Can’t stand the things that I see in my dreams
And the things that they mean to me

This world is cold
I have nowhere safe to go, so…
(One fatal day, you’ll come to me and say that you’ve been told the truth and the things I can’t say)
Now that I know
I let my hope go
(But you’re scared of remembering, scared of the things that you’ve trapped in your dreams out of fear or reality)

As autumn comes
Red leaves fall to the ground
Memories falling down
Clouds hide the sun
Cold rain is pouring down
Stay with me
Please don’t go home
