Beneath the Maple Duex
Beneath the Maple duex
Her smile lit the autumn scene
With leaves of rust and gold
Which fell beneath the maple tree
Left standing in the cold
Each leaf a little lie once told
To hide the inner pain
And now they fall like drops of ice
In freezing winter rain
So like the lonely maple tree
Beneath the stormy sky
sHe stands in darkness all alone
And begins to wilt and die
Her smile was the sunshine
The warm fulfilling glow
That gave her strength and courage
To live her life and grow
Yet deep inside she felt a shame
That she could not control
So she hid behind a thousand leaves
And would not bare her soul
Its funny how the maple tree
Is hidden from the sun
Until she is so far away
That the leaves all come undone
sHe will try so hard to reach back
Standing naked in the mess
So cold inside without herslef
she's ready to confess
sHe cannot live without her
sHe’s finally seen the light
And nothing comes before her
She is all that’s in her sight
