I am an old and sleepy house   but I stand among the trees   That weave their crooked arms above the path      Which winds it's way over the ground   That's who, now I can't see   Cause the moon is gone and everything is black      Forever's fresh and restless   It cannot find a speed   And autumn chill chases summer into the past      The sun is sleeping longer   I've noticed that the leaves   Are giving up the view that they knew wouldn't last      Because tonight, it smells like rain   The creeks have begun to stretch their banks   And the lights have left, it reminds me   How you would sit by the fire place   And you would read all night   In the chair with the tall sides   And the flickering light   And we would both feel so warm   So loved   So alive   So alive      But tonight my floors are quiet   They don't groan and they don't creak   And the candles are still asleep inside the drawer   There was a noise down the dark hallway   The one you thought was so scary   You would sit, afraid you forgot to lock the door   The fear would fade as sudden as it afraid   And you would be so content with everything...
