It is late autumn
The oak leaves have gone
From orange to brown
There is a dry rasp
To their rustling as an
Evening wind passes by

I have come for no particular
Reason  Just standing alone
Under the gaze of distant stars
Not waiting for anyone to appear

I can imagine the sound of a train
Beyond the trees  The wail of its horn
As it slowly fades  See in the night
Whoever I want approaching
On the gravel road

Yet it is this quiet night
I only want without faith or hope
That it’s you I’ll see coming toward me
Through the lamp lit air

Oh my love
How much has changed
Since we were here

We are always drawn to places that hold our memories.

Exquisitely worded.
