In the falling twilight
Autumn winds blow
I travel closer to my heart
And farther from my home
Bitter air, thick with promises
All the secrets I breathe in
Forgive me of my loneliness
And I will forgive you of your sins
The moon lights my path
Forever, if I may run
The silence hides my hope
To someday touch the sun
But I have only fallen
Too close to your burning flame
My smile and heart will melt
But my love will always remain
