The days are getting shorter
It’s a bitter dying light
As the final fly of summer
Takes a lonely winter flight
The things that once were lively
Are slowly finding death
The visitors are leaving
On the next train headed west
the coming days loom frigid
For the warmth forsaken soul
The closing theme is playing
In the lonely winter cold
Maybe some fine morning
Spring will come again
Till then darkness rules the winter
Goodbye to you my friend

I once wrote a rhyme for you
I meant it with my heart
but sometimes when paths cross
they are meant to split apart
(chorus)
If something ever happens to your love
if your love goes away
maybe you can fall in love again with a poet someday
I once believed that love was true
if I could see it with my eyes
but I’ve been wrong enough
to see that was a lie
(chorus)
If something ever happens to your love
if your love goes away
maybe you can fall in love again with a poet someday
(bridge
sometimes endings last forever
and then again they don’t
if you ever change your mind
you won’t have to change alone
(chorus)
If something ever happens to your love
if your love goes away
maybe you can fall in love again with a poet someday
I once wrote a rhyme for you
I meant it with my heart
but sometimes when paths cross
they are meant to split apart
