Leaves fallIn the cool October airDays grow shortAnd I can't remember where I saw you lastTurned against the summer lightWalking offOn that final August nightI was thereOn my kneesAll aloneIn a worldWhere nothing ever stays the sameI am layingWith only things I cannot changeYou've gone awayAnd left me things I cannot changeSmoke will riseAnd the fire always burnsSands will driftAnd tides will turnI can't wrestle with the seaRearrange the skyOr fight against the windAny more than I can bringYou backTo meIn a worldWhere nothing ever stays the sameI am layingWith only things I cannot changeYou've gone awayAnd left me things I cannot changeSo far awayAnd left me things I cannot changeAnd left me things I cannot changeAnd left me things I cannot change
