Welcome the Darkness


 

Darkness falls like Laburnum leaves
Upon this brown and barren street
And in my heart i come to grieve
As winds blow cold across the city
And branches scratch the windowsill
While darkness falls like Laburnum leaves


Small creatures seek their burrows deep
Heralds of the coming chill
And in my heart i come to grieve
For next, winter will move in like the thieves
That steal the light and sap the will
While darkness falls like Laburnum leaves
Darkness falls like Laburnum leaves
Upon this brown and barren street
And in my heart i come to grieve
As winds blow cold across the city
And branches scratch the windowsill
While darkness falls like Laburnum leaves


The year grows short and i believe
It is with rue my heart must fill
And in my heart i come to grieve
For all the failures to achieve
And all the hopes gone unfulfilled
While darkness falls like Laburnum leaves
In my heart i come to grieve
