Reflections on dark water, like the shadow of a dream Glimpse just for an instant and vanish in the stream Memories flutter like frightened birds, startled from the trees And disappear into the darkness between the leaves Discarded words, forgotten songs and letters left unsent Futures past that could never last, that were borrowed, lost or spent Now I hear distant tickles of things I once believed And slipped into the darkness between the leaves All you have is the road you took and who you met along the way And the chance to open your eyes and look at who you are today And see all the different strands of life and the tapestry it weaves The dappled shadows in the darkness between the leaves So I let the the evening fool around me and if that's what I've received And I hope that there is something somewhere to give strength to those who grieve For every day must turn to night and everything that breathes Must one day pass into the darkness between the leaves
