Why did you leave when the leaves turned grey
When the sun sank low at the end of the day?
Shadows fell soft the air stood still
And the frost kissed the grass on the quiet hill
Why did you go and leave me torn?
A heart like mine was not meant to mourn
You took the light you stole the flame
Now all that's left is the echo of your name
Why did you leave as the clouds rolled by
When the stars began their fall from the sky?
The wind carried whispers of a promise near
But now it's silence and a fading tear
Why did you go and leave me torn?
A heart like mine was not meant to mourn
You took the light you stole the flame
Now all that's left is the echo of your name
The world still turns but I can't move on
Your shadow lingers in the breaking dawn
A life unwritten a song unsung
A love undone and I'm left unstrung
Why did you go and leave me torn?
A heart like mine was not meant to mourn
You took the light you stole the flame
Now all that's left is the echo of your name
Why did you leave when hope was near?
You left me drowning in the cold dark fear
