You Always Wanted To Fly

The leaves are bright against the gray-cast
sky as October bids them farewell.
Falling so gracefully away.
More beautiful than we could ever die.

You always wanted to fly...
Well I hope found your way.
This rope's end is heavy and holds so still,
but you've already flown away.

Years between now and the childhood we left
behind, its best not to think about where
you let yourself go...
Things I'll never know as I prepare to say
goodbye to an old friend.
Its such an eerie feeling to think I'll never
see you again.

Something went wrong inside and you were left
without the lights to guide you on your way.
To carry you through those times when you were
so afraid and all alone.
To carry you through the pain and hurt that lead you to your fall...
and you fall.

I'm losing my sight in the candles I light
in your memory.
Watching the glow and watching it fade away.
I'm losing my sight in the flowers that die
at your funeral.
Turning away and knowing that this is the end.

you always wanted to fly
well i hope you found your way
this ropes end is heavy and holds so still
but you've already flown away.
