Autumn,
Where is she?
Standing alone in the dark at the back of her room
In her own gloom
Autumn,
When did she?
Been there today in the park with a pact for the tomb
She's fallen so soon

Mackey,
Come quickly
Sipping on tea at his desk at that time of the day
Oh please go away
Mackey,
Please hear me
Sirens are on and the rest are all well on thier way
Whats there to say

Phillip
Is watching,
Silent he swings, from his seat at the edge of the park
Its getting near dark
Phillip
She's dieing
Holding his hands for the beat in her chest from her heart
He's falling apart

Mackey
How is she
Feeling for strength as the tears in his eyes start to sting
He wears her ring
Mackey
I'm sorry
Says Phillip as he appears, its a terrible thing
I can't do a thing

Autumn,
When did she
Been here all day in the park with a bag for the birds
Nothing absurd
Autumn
How could she
Leave me alone, in the dark in this world, not a word
Never occurred

Phillip
Is leaving,
Been a long night, must get back to his flat on the lake
Tomorrow he'll wake
Phillip
Starts crying,
Nothing to do don't look back on that night in mistake
Her life to take

Mackey
Sits calmy,
Just yesterday she was here now she's gone just the same
It all remains
Autumn
I miss you
Talking to stills at the rear of the room bareing her name
You will remain.....

Oh I think you might name it "A Mystery".  You have me all curious.  Joyce

Its just a story...Autumn commits suicide, Phillip is nearby when she does it, he can't save her, Mackey's the policeman who comes the scene, he's also her husband.  Hope this helps clear it up.
