I made the call just too late
At the end of May
I just thought I could wait
For one more day
In the time that passed
You went down so fast
You went down so fast


Out of my reach, out of my hands
I didn’t understand
I would have changed all my plans


An empty house, a setting sun
At four a.m.
Some battles fought are battles won
But this ain’t one of them
One more shadow cast
You went down so fast
You went down so fast


Now the leaves are tuning brown
I watch them blow
Where the earth pulls them down
I let you go
As your breath unwinds
Through the restless pines
