The leaves give a splendid show
And shutters bang with applause
Summers gone
I knew this was killing me
Might have quit if I'd known it takes so long

So long is what you said
You left in so many colors
Orange and reds
Long days wore us out
Summer is gone, long gone

Did you have anything
To do with the birth in spring
Kind Regards
Grace is what's saving me
A check unexpectedly in the mail

What do I want to
Do before we die
I thank you and love
Us as we are
Summer is gone, long gone

Wish it were different
And that keeps me miserable, each little wish
Pushes into my side, burrowing deep into my discontent

Don't know what to do
With or without you
You left on a hum
A slow setting sun

What do I want to
Do before we die
Thank you and love us as we are

We Are
