lyrics

When the leaves gently fall
Scarlet swirls, rusted gold
And the wind whispers strange melodies
There we'll be, there we'll be
Fading gray, feigning bold
As the chill nestles down through the trees

And the daylight's fading
Weathered eyes are straining
And the wolves are gaining still
Let them find us waiting
Unafraid, unshaken
We remain and always will

So waltz with me, my darling one
There lives no reason to hide
For these leaves that fall
Are red with blood
And winter's right by our side

There's a boy lost in time
Glimpsing dreams of your face
You cried out, and your pain led him here
Follow me, follow me
One more dance to embrace
Courage blooms from the roots of your fears

And the daylight's fading
Weathered eyes are straining
And the wolves are gaining still
Let them find us waiting
Unafraid, unshaken
Love remains and always will

So waltz with me, my darling one
There lives no reason to hide
For these leaves that fall are red with blood
And winter's right by my side
