Autumn Leaves
When you played Eva Cassidy for me
One night
Some time ago
You showed yourself
And I loved you.
You and I were in the drizzle
And it was afternoon
And it was gray
And we were walking
And it was Autumn.
We were sightseeing in Paris
and hurrying across streets in London
And we climbed Mansfield in Vermont
And ran along deserted beaches in Maine
But we never left home.
You were the wind and I was the rain
And we were moving together
Across empty streets and melancholy waters
Holding hands and pouring down
On the world around us.
