Yellow Trees

(c) 2008 Ami Worthen

the yellow trees and the bluest sky
there's no good reason to be inside
you are here and i hold you close
for any moment we could turn to ghosts

The things you're sayin', such a heavy weight,
that any moment we could pass away

the leaves are falling down from the trees
i see them floating off in the breeze
just like them, we will float away
not something i think about every day

There are seasons, and constant change
To read the book, you gotta turn the page

i touch your breast and feel your heart beat
i am so blessed to have you here with me
seeing you in the autumn light
i want to keep you through winter's nights

We're hangin' on by a tiny thread,
and in this mystery our souls are fed

i know the cycles we lose, we gain
i know that death is sure as rain
but in the moment all there is is you
the yellow trees and the skies so blue
the yellow trees and the skies so blue
