Wash Away

The air outside has grown still again, The leaves on the trees have all turned red, The emptiness washes over me now, the silence fills my head. I sit here wondering what might have been, Oh what we could have made, had we seen it through til the end, could we ever be saved? Dreams of you, still fill my head. Visions of your eyes, your lips, the things you said. You tell me that its alright, and it'll all be ok. Just before I wake up, and you wash away. I got a picture in the mail today, oh it made me cry, He's got your nose, and she's got my eyes, I can see you're alright , maybe I'll be ok. I wish I could wake up and wash it all away. I never should have walked the road, I always chose to walk. I never should have let you go, chosen not to talk, I'm left here all alone now, left to start anew. But I don't want to start again if it's not with you.
