Fallen Leaves

The sun sets behind the golden trees -
I drag my feet along.
Something just keeps falling and falling
what and why, I don't know.

Boot heels scraping,
against a grey paved road,
and the breeze hums by.

But there's a difference,
like in a dream -
wish I could tell you why.

Cuz now,
You and I,
We're like fallen leaves - 
just rustling in the autumn air,
just running in the wind.

Feel so tired,
wanna catch my breath.
Is it the end this time
for you and I?
