Sometimes your silence speaks louder than the colors of fall.
You think you're protecting me, but I'm not sheltered at all.
And I am lost in Septmeber, with everything I remember so strong...
And I am lost to the foilage, aimless lost souls just floating along
...
I can remember you smiling and taking my hand
Into a corridor of the arts where we faced no reprimands
And I am dancing in circles, under the tree waiting for his car
And I am playing dress-up, knee-high socks to cover the scars...
...

I am waiting by the calendar,
Dorothy, please don't tear it down
And I am sitting in a cellar
the walls are gone, but you're not around

...
I can remember the long walks that angered my mother
And I can remember how she looked when I told her 'it's over...'
Lost into a sea of brooding, your face the heavens in the storm
Chocolate truffles so soothing, it was you who should have been warned...
...
I am a silly girl with a heart stretched out so nostalgic
I suppose it wouldn't be beauty if it weren't so tragic...
And I am dancing in circles, it's not the same; something is wrong
And I am playing make-believe, that you were with me all along
...

I am waiting by the calendar,
Dorothy, please don't tear it down
You said these words were for forever
So why are you never around?

...
I can promise you treasure and castles of kings
But if you don't believe me, they don't mean a thing
I want you to look to me with the eyes of a fourteen-year-old
Before the December snowed down and made your tone so very cold...

So Dorothy please!

Stop crying; no one's dying
They're all dead anyway, announce what you have to say
Please stop fighting; only your fears are alighting
if you have no spite for me,
Return this memory of the fall.
