I took the long way I took the low road And when I got home It was morning, where'd the time go? She sat waiting She had her coat on Said, "This can't go on." Guess the truth was just a stone's throw A flower blossomed but the summer ended years ago The autumn spared us, but the winter has not been so kind And we don't feel the sun no more, we're just dying on the vine Door slam echo Gone for certain Behind drawn curtain I watch her through the window Floating backwards I see her shining A light so blinding Makes you wonder where it all goes A flower blossomed but the summer ended years ago The autumn spared us, but the winter has not been so kind And we don't feel the sun no more, we're just dying on the vine Ancient photograph The way that we both laughed Looked like we'd stay like that forever But outside the picture frame The deepest truths change like the weather They change just like the weather A flower blossomed but the summer ended years ago The autumn spared us, but the winter has not been so kind And we don't feel the sun no more, we're just dying on the vine
