John Rothwell - Autumn Rain Lyrics

Like a leaf falling sunder
From your arms to the earth I fall
Blown away on wind and thunder
Your footsteps washed away
In the cold autumn rain

And all the birds have flown to southern skies
The songless air bleeds through the fading light
Bonfires burn with my heart's dying flames
These harvested lands hold my empty gaze
In these lonesome fallen days

Broken hearted
Rain pouring
No shelter from the storm

So comes the end of that endless summer
Where flowers bloomed with our love and tenderness
I'd wake with you to greet each new day dawning
I never thought that could end
Now i wake and you are not there
