lyrics

SHE WAS BETTER THAN ME,
WITH UNCOMMON CARE AND COMPASSION FOR ALL
SHE PLANTED A TREE,
IN THE LATE SUMMER GRASS THAT FORESHADOWED THE FALL

SHE SET OFF FROM HER HOME
SEALING HER PROMISE WITH A KISS AND A WAVE
HOW COULD SHE HAVE KNOWN
THE PEOPLE SHE LEFT THERE WOULD SUDDENLY SLIP AWAY

FALLING LIKE LEAVES FROM THE FRESH SAPLING TREES
BY HER ROOM

THE PLANS THAT SHE MADE
SHATTERED AND SCATTERED BY THE WINDS THAT BLEW THROUGH
HOW DREAMS START TO FADE
WHEN THE GROUND THAT YOU’VE STOOD ON IS CRUMBLING
UNDER YOU

I SAW HER TODAY
A HARD SMILE SHE GAVE ME TO SHIELD OFF THE PAIN
I HAD MUCH MORE TO SAY
BUT SILENTLY WATCHED HER HEAD BACK TO THE TRAIN
A WANDERING FORM
WALKING THROUGH LIFE LIKE SHE’S TREADING ON COALS
HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR THE STORM
THAT PASSES BY MANY BUT LANDS ON A FEW POOR SOULS

FALLING LIKE LEAVES FROM THE FRESH SAPLING TREES BY HER ROOM
