Lyrics
The last of the Autumn leaves have fallen
And will not be replaced
And our feelings like the landscape have changed
Fragile as we are and exposed to the elements
I can feel the wind and it's pulling me away from us
Like all rivers flow to the sea
The earth will dissolve our story so
This is our requiem
For the love we have shared
When we lay to rest
With no resistance or defence
Our memories made flesh
And we will not forget
Green buds in the spring
The newness of all living things
The sunlight brings relief
From the lifelessness
Like all trees reach for the sky
We turn to walk into the light
This is our requiem
For the love we have shared
When we lay to rest
With no resistance or defence
Our memories made flesh
And we will not forget
Our memories made flesh
And we will not forget
A requiem for the love that we have shared
A story ending as another one begins
With new life we can find comfort in
The memories we have
The memories we have
The tide takes us
Our names written in the sand
We turn from dust to dust
And ashes to ashes
And I am not afraid to face the silence
Our last goodbye you and I
Our last goodbye
