Hunter As a Horse - Fallen Leaves

I know you think of me
Sadistically it makes me happy
We have that at least
Even though it's hopeless
It was reckless of me to believe we have forever
'Cause no one has forever
But every time the thought of you came up
I thought of something else
Then I grew up, I grew old
I guess it's much easier
To see the truth within our hearts
To see the things we let go so stupidly
But life is cruel and complicated

I wish that I could walk with you
Just one more time while we are young
Into the woods behind our house
And I would tell you how I really feel
But I guess we have too much to lose
And time has had it's way with us
Our footprints are still lying there underneath
15 years of fallen leaves

And now the house belongs to strangers
And the woods are ours no longer
When we grew up, we grew cold
I guess it's much easier
To blend the things within our hearts
It's easier to let go
'Cause life is cruel and complicated
And even though the memory is weak
Our hearts remember fondly all the things that used to matter
It was reckless of me to believe we have forever
'Cause no one has forever

I wish that I could walk with you
Just one more time while we are young
Into the woods behind our house
And I would tell you how I really feel
But I guess we have too much to lose
And time has had it's way with us
Our footprints are still lying there underneath
15 years of fallen leaves

I wish that I could walk with you
Just one more time while we are young
Into the woods behind our house
And I would tell you how I really feel
But I guess we have too much to lose
And time has had it's way with us
Our footprints are still lying there underneath
15 years of fallen leaves
