I made the call just too late At the end of May I just throught I could wait For one more day In the time that passed You went down so fast You went down so fast Out of my reach, out of my hands I didn't understand I would have changed all my plans An empty house, a setting sun At four a.m. Some battles fought are battles won But this ain't one of them One more shadow cast You went down so fast You went down so fast Now the leaves are turning brown I watch them blow Where the earth pulls them down I let you go As your breath unwinds Through the restless pines
