Autumnal Goodbyes by Edward Bell from London United Kingdom

autumnal goodbyes
over two thousand miles she flies,
just to witness a glimpse of that same-old sad look in
your eyes
and with the sun she'll rise to make sure she's awake for
the silent autumnal goodbyes
she waits till the leaves are gone,
and then heads to the park for the walks she once took with
her son,
kicking leaves as they'd run,
then they used to head home and talk about things that
they'd done
now each year is the same, and the silence is all that
remains
it might seem the world falls down,
sometimes friends and lovers just fade away
a happy ever after is nowhere to be found,
and you want to be back there again
spring came with her smile,
it was too much to take so she moves out of town for a
while
still immersed in denial, unable to see who's to blame for
her losing her child
now each year stays the same, and the silence is all that
remains
it might seem the world falls down,
sometimes friends and lovers just fade away
a happy ever after is nowhere to be found,
and you want to be back there again
moving on is the hardest thing, with the world and the
memories it brings
a song on the radio, some film on tv,
the image of a face,
and the question,
just the question
why me?
it might seem the world falls down,
sometimes friends and lovers just fade away
a happy ever after is nowhere to be found,
and you want to be back there again
