I am back at last from yearning slumber
when the nightly drama came to a close
(Hoping that fall will never come)
Salute the morning sun
Inviting us to idleness
(Hoping that fall will never come)
The hour calls for secrecy
silently we'd slip out to the lake
(Hoping that fall will never come)
And I stumble as of vertigo
Can't await the sound of gentle waves
melting with the rhythm of our crave.
But today there are only elegies
Filling our tainted elysium
(Still hoping that fall will never come)
This place turned to a fraud mirage
Deceitful and untrue.
(Still hoping that fall will never come)
Embraces solace me
They hide my tears in pastel drapery
(Still hoping that fall will never come)
And I cry just as you
Knowing, this is coming to an end
But still I am hoping that fall will never come.
..But it came.
