Dead Leaves

Jewelia


You sleep so still, so beautiful
I could watch you for ages
So silent and warm, my eyelids fall
Like dead leaves in autumn
The morning light is playing in your hair
I only sit and stare
You slowly smile and so do I, it's bliss
And baby you're my moment of peace

You sleep so still, so beautiful
I can barely hear you breathe
I wonder what you're dreaming of
'Cause baby this feels like a dream to me
But life is waiting outside this door
We can't stay forever like this
Just one more minute let me watch you sleep

It's autumn again
There was a time when it didn't mean a thing
But now dead leaves remind me of a morning
When for a moment time stood still
It was just me and you against the world
Everything else behind that door
I gently kissed your eyes to say goodbye
And baby, then I went outside
