Alone

how red the sunset in the summer sky 
who reaches out from everywhere 
so soft the melody that falls 
as if the rain upon the world 
the quiet summer air 
the things that you throw into the sea darling 
will always wash up upon a distant shore 

and the seasons come and go 
and I wake up alone 
is there anybody out there 
plant your garden watch it grow 
and I wake up alone 
is there anybody out there 

how quite becoming are the autumn leaves 
who dance a careless to and fro 
so dark the winter nights that fall 
as if a blanket on the world 
the falling of the snow
