The leaves of fall littered the streets
Like a blanket of solitude and peace
I remember the first time I saw you
Well, I stopped breathing

The leaves are gone now
Blown away by the cold of winter
And it freezes every night
Leaving sheets of ice
But we were warm by our fire
Well, we were warm by our fire
December was a beautiful time
But after that we seemed to fall

And the seasons go by and we have changed
Time?s gone by still I see your face
Smiling on the wind
Calling me down
Smiling on the wind
Calling me down

Spring came early this year
Melted away the comforts of winter
And I think we both cried out
So the ice that froze us safely
Has melted, become a stream
That ran far away from you and me
But I wouldn?t let it take my memories

The heat has come now
Sweat like pain intensifying
Intensifying all I?ve known

And the seasons go by and we have changed
Time?s gone by still I see your face
Smiling on the wind
Calling me down
Smiling on the wind
Calling me down

The leaves of fall still litter the street
The cold of winter freezes ice into sheets
The spring still brings her cleansing rain
But the heat of summer just won?t carry you
Won?t carry you away

And the seasons go by and we have changed
Time?s gone by still I see your face
Smiling on the wind
Calling me down
Smiling on the wind
Calling me down
