Flying As She Falls

The leaves have turned and she has known

And she tells me she can't let him go

And she looks to the moon for answers

And she looks inside and she knows

She dresses by the window

Finds reflection in the pane

She looks towards the winter

And her hair falls around her like rain

She's sighing with September

She would like to run and hide

She's wrapped up in confusion

She unfolds like paper dolls

But she's flying as she falls

The birds have gone and she has known

For she follows the arc of their flight

And the softness has gone from the daylight

And the shadows have grown into night

She's sighing with September

She would like to run and hide

She's wrapped up in confusion

She unfolds like paper dolls

But she's flying as she falls

Soon will come cool October

It will rise all around her like fire

And she gathers her courage like harvest

And she gathers her thoughts and desires

She's sighing with September

She would like to run and hide

She's wrapped up in confusion

She unfolds like paper dolls

But she's flying as she falls

She will not run and hide

She will take it all in stride

And she will

She will

She will

be flying as she falls
