the wind blows
October winds howl
around a lonely tree
each leaf clings
tightly to the branch
til the time of surrender
comes
and it lets go
falling
falling
gently to its death

colorful leaves
let go of the trees
it's time to give
it's time to die
colorful leaves
let go of the trees
falling
falling falling
softly to surrender

life is cold
winds of change
blow around my dreams
I cling tightly
to my hope
and the time of surrender comes
I must let go
falling
falling
gently to my death
