Leaves of Tin

V1:
Thinking of so many people
As I ponder my existence
Pacing back and forth in fog
With voices in the distance

Daily I'm less satisfied
With everything I do
Living life on purchased time
Yet it keeps me close to you

(Chorus)
As I wait here in the wind
All the leaves, they turn to tin
I want to tell you something
But I know not where to begin
And everything I want to say
It never seems to go away
I can't forget the memories
The skies are turning gray.

V2:
Skating on the thinnest ice
Near the horizon of the rink
Attempting to forget your face
Is causing me to drink
But when you are so near
Everything tends to subside
The unrest just disappears
This, in you, I must confide

(Chorus)
As I wait here to begin
All the leaves, they turn to tin
I want to tell you something
But you are lost amongst the wind
And everything I want to say
It never seems to go away
I can't forget the memories
The skies are turning gray.

Outro:
But the wind begins to change
And then birds begin to sing
The fog begins to clear
The pendulum begins to swing
Like seeds cast across the plains
There you are in front of me
Like the sweet scent of salvation
There you are and I am free
