Sad Music

We fall to the earth like leaves

Lives as brief as footprints in snow

No words express the grief we feel

I feel I cannot let her go.

For she is everywhere.

Walking on the windswept beach

Talking in the sunlit square.

Next to me in the car

I see her sitting there.

At night she dreams me

and in the morning the sun does not rise.

My life is as thin as the wind

And I am done with counting stars.

She is gone she is gone.

I am her sad music, and I play on, and on, and on.
