I wandered through your deserted streets
Looked for you with each heart beat
Searched every nook and cranny
But I fell down when I saw you
I fell down
I remember the last words you spoke
Seething forests and living ghosts
Your body a page of music you wrote upon
A crumbling castle beneath the sun
Your heart as hard as a precious stone
An uncut diamond in a wooden throne
And when you rose and left that day –
I tried to stand up
I tried to be brave
But I fell down when I saw you
I fell down through your seasons
I fell down through your evenings
I fell down through your reasons
I fell down
