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
