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 perspectiveThis time you won't be calling out
So I'll keep on longing, keep on longing
As you keep on walking, I longed to runWe'll never walk together
Through leaves and over bridges
To the sound of bells
Ringing out from that lone towerSteps strive towards
Yet broken limbs keep this child where he lies
AWOL and choking on the bitter taste of desperation
The leaves still turnThis time you won't be coming back
A lifetime of longing, a lifetime of longing
We all saw it coming, I longed to runWe'll never walk together
Through leaves and over bridges
To the sound of bells
Ringing out from that lone towerWe'll never walk together
Through leaves and over bridges
To the sound of bells
Ringing out from that lone towerRemember me from time to time
(From time to time)
And all I'd sacrifice in my life
To share just one last walk with youRemember me, remember virtue
(From time to time)
Remember me, remember meThis time you won't be calling out
So I'll keep on longing as you keep on walkingI 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
