You remind me of the stillness of the autumn
grey smoky eyes and wavey golden hair
theres a sadness in your silent soul
I see it clearily
and I know for sure now, that you no longer care
The wind holds out her rushing arms and calls you
and the old moon tempts you with the mysteries of the night
the rain calls out your name so softly
and I know
that soon you'll be gone and out of sight
I feel the quick beating of your heart at midnight
as the whistle of a distant train sounds cross the field
today I found the half packed suitcase in the closet
and so, I know my fate will soon be sealed
When you stretch out your arms to hold me in the midnight
I feel sadness, for it may be the last time that you do
the 'I love you's' are coming less and less now
oh God it hurts
for I know that I am losing you
Oh it's not to a woman that I lose you
It's the misty seas that beckons to you with her white capped waves
It's' the endless ribbon of the highways
It's the mountain peaks, green valleys and deep caves
It might be whats lurking oer' the next hill
it might be the ship that sails so smoothly oer' the sea
it could be the calling of some wild bird
that takes you so far away from me
The wander lust that's slowly washing oer' you
will very soon possess your restless soul
our days draw to an end and you'll soon be leaving
and I'll be lonely once again, my heart so cold
But I have the memories of your smiles and laughter
and I'll keep them locked forever in my heart
so I'll pray that some far off sunny day
you will come back again
and tell me that we never more shall part
