Falling of the Leaves

Falling of the Leaves
 
Autumn with the falling of the leaves
My life seems as barren as the trees
 
My heart is cold and turned to ice
But I am willing to make a sacrifice
 
The wicked fall winds continue to blow
The road to loneliness I have come to know
 
The raindrops pool on my window sill
Life’s become a battle and it’s all uphill
 
My footprints washed away on the beach
Happiness seems so far out of my reach
 
My love is a shipwreck just off shore
If I had love I couldn’t ask for more
 
With the winter storms of falling sleet
All hope is lost on bustling city streets
 
My heart was once in the right place
All of these lonely hours I have to face
 
Want to feel love draw near to me
Unlock my shackles and set me free
 
Love is a stranger in the dark of night
How I want to be in the his sights
 
I will bite the bullet till hell freezes over
Until someday I find that perfect lover
 
I pray in silence deep into the night
Maybe God can make things right
 
I want to know love in all of it’s glory
This brings to an end my sad story
