I Remember

The Summer has already gone round
The leaves are coming down
A mild obsession with
An emptiness within
I feel a twilight now
The dark is all around
And every little thing you said
I try not to forget
I remember but I don’t regret
I remember but I don’t regret
The sun has promises to keep
The estuary’s asleep
I reach out to the black
But you’re not coming back
These stones must think it’s strange
For us to have to change
Now all the little plans we had
Now stand in silhouette
I remember but I don’t regret
I remember but I don’t regret
Put yourself into my place
Please forgive me my mistakes
I feel these tears fall down my face
I see this life I loved slip away
