lyrics

Everybody changes, each and every day
We all walk the line in our own separate ways
I've seen familiar faces, trying to meet and end
But how can you know just where to begin

I'd be lying if I said the line was drawn
Or just which side that I'll be on
My dreams have all begun to feel so wrong
Can I see you one last time before the fall

I'm going down to the place where I belong
I'm leaving now, before the break of dawn
These autumn leaves don't last very long
Can I see you one last time before the fall

I've known you since you were a little kid
So innocent when time it was your friend
But now I cannot help you, the past I cannot mend
When your twisting turning ways don't reach an end

But time doesn't change the way its run
Twisting, creeping, feeling like its won
But now I must admit I'll move along
Can I see you one last time before the fall

I'm going down to the place where i belong
I'm leaving now, before the break of dawn
These autumn leaves don't last for very long
Can I see you one last time before the fall

So send me off to sail the silent sea
Where dreams of you are but a memory
Twisting through the trees,led by the blowing breeze
And dancing 'round the falling autumn leaves

So take me on a trip towards the sun
The sky don't hold just for anyone
I'm leaving out before the break of dawn
Can I see you one last time before the fall

I'm going down to the place where I belong
I'm leaving out before the break of dawn
These autumn leaves don't last very long
Can I see you one last time before the fall
