Lyrics

I walk her down the empty hall
Measured steps and treasured moments
We look outside to see the leaves are turning brown
The light can’t hold us here for long
She fakes a laugh
And says you know just what to say
But it’s these words that leave me breathless and alone when the winter comes to stay

She’ll close her eyes
And for a moment it gets better
These whispering lies
They don’t have taste for us at all
You had me dead to rights
There’s no truth I couldn’t tell you
But we see through The fog
There is no mystery at all
Hold my hand try not to fall
And tell me this is not the end

She puts me up against the wall
Says hold still for just a minute
She takes a picture, shakes it out to see the glow
And says there’s more of this to come
She takes a breath
She wishes all of this would change
The autumn leaves make me come alive
When will they sing to me again

She’ll close her eyes
And for a moment it gets better
These whispering lies
They don’t have taste for us at all
You had me dead to rights
There’s no truth I couldn’t tell you
But we see through The fog
There is no mystery at all
Hold my hand try not to fall
And tell me this is not the end

I'd do it all again
oh even if they told me
That we would see the end
Almost as soon as we began
But if I close my eyes
For a moment it gets better
But I see through the fog
There is no mystery at all
Hold my hand try not to fall
