Ask me to paint the sky Its been so long I couldn't even try A portrayal of the sun It shines its light for anyone Cos I'm burnt, like the leaves That I'll pull from your autumn trees I may break like the day When the night comes and takes it away You ask me to guard your door But I'm not sure what I'm standing here for Protection from the rain And yet, I'll drown just the same Cos I'm burnt, like the leaves That I'll pull from your autumn trees I may break like the day When the night comes and takes it away Time, may be my only friend The one who gets me in the end Though death may take the living part The soul and the heart No more burnt like the leaves That'll fall from your autumn leaves No more break of the day When the night comes and takes it away When the night comes and takes it away
