Autumn - Andrea Begley

Ask me to paint the sky

Its been so long I couldn’t even try

A portrayal of the sun

It shines its light for anyone

Cos I’m burnt, like the leaves

That I’ll pull from your autumn trees

I may break like the day

When the night comes and takes it away

You ask me to guard your door

But I’m not sure what I’m standing here for

Protection from the rain

And yet, I’ll drown just the same

Cos I’m burnt, like the leaves

That I’ll pull from your autumn trees

I may break like the day

When the night comes and takes it away

Time, may be my only friend

The one who gets me in the end

Though death may take the living part

The soul and the heart

No more burnt like the leaves

That’ll fall from your autumn leaves

No more break of the day

When the night comes and takes it away

When the night comes and takes it away
