They’re always like autumn
Gold of fallen leaves
Drops of lost promises
You don’t see what is it in my memory
You won’t see ’cause it’s just serenity
Forgive me the tears
It’s nothing, my weakness
Worth of nothing
But a sigh within
Do you see how I’m broken within?
I cannot call, not ever sing
What do you love still in me
So broken and weak?
I am but a shadow of myself in the past
Glory of the stars
Starfalling nights, deep sparks in eyes
You saw me then not
Oh, you would have loved
Me all shining so bright
Beyond the stars all alight
Now I’m broken and faded
Why do you love me so weak
With eyes full of fear?
One day my flame will burn again
After the years of shadows and fear
For a hope I bore through the darkness and pain
I hold it still, caressing so dear
For the world I dream within
So deep in me
But now when I’m still broken and torn
Why do you love what I’ve become?
