Falling

I stood out on the road

And I watched as you were leaving

The leaves were dancing oranges and reds

And they circled all around me like confetti on fire

They were nothing when compared to the burning in my head

I was lost, I was gone

I was falling too

That summer came and went

You were working for my family

One more job and then your classes would begin

And you promised we'd be quiet

And we hid behind the garden

I walked out more than a woman than I walked in

And I was lost, I was gone

I was falling

I was lost, I was gone

I was falling for you

I went down to the church

I offered my confession

I swore I'd never do it again

I swore I learned my lesson

Oh, but every year when the leaves appear

Your memory comes sweet and clear

I never will forget you

And I never did regret you

I was lost, I was gone, I was falling

I was lost, I was gone, I was falling

I stood out on the road and I watched as you were leaving

The leaves were dancing oranges and reds
