Walking Through a Park In Fall

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

 

Do you remember weeks ago?

I called you close in hopes to show

Love for you on bended knee

To tame the horse, to plant the seed

To let the wind blow over

And to let the tide make curtains

Out of all my lust for living

And the dream of unrequited love returned

 

Your memory helps me pass the time

A vision of you still alive

Walking down the street somewhere

With golden flowers in your hair

Smiling like an angel

Who is lost but who is happy

With the gift that she is giving

And the holiness that she has truly earned

 

We walk among the autumn leaves

The crying sun, the crooked trees

Fighting with the feeling

That my heart is what you’re stealing

As you dance alone to music

That only you can listen to

Like some enchanted meeting

Between Heaven and an unfamiliar Earth

 

I cannot express the sadness

That I feel when you are happy

To lay with you and realize

That everything will crumble

And that all that’s really real

Is this feeling that I feel

When I look into your eyes

And when we talk and when we touch

And I tell you that I love you...
