From The Fall

(album: Leave The Light On - 2022)

She said, "Boy, won't you come over, I still miss you all the time
It's a bittersweet October and I'm headed for the northern pines
Well, this autumn fall feels empty
Black and white leaves touch the ground
You're the only color I've got left and it's slowly fading out"

All this distance left between us, keeps me locked inside my head
Tried to tell myself, "It's over" but I'm hanging on by a thread
Oh dear love of mine, forgive me
I'm still learning how to shake the frost

Writing these letters from the fall
Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all
And this colder weather won't be long
But it feels like forever just waiting for you to come home
Writing these letters from the fall

I said, "Girl, won't you believe me, you're the only one that's mine
As the days keep dragging slower, it seems like we're losing time
But this pen spills our memories, from that summer in Tupelo
I still dream about our future and breaking off this broken road"

Writing these letters from the fall
Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all
And this cold weather won't be long
But it feels like forever just waiting for you to come home
Writing these letters from the fall

She said "Boy, won't you come over, I still miss you all the time"
I said, "Girl, won't you believe me, I'm headed for the northern pines"
