Fleeting Lyrics

As the seasons change

I can smell the decay

Of the flowers

That peaked their heads in May

And you can see the sun

As it shines on everyone

Lose a little of its brilliance

Day after passing day

And you can feel the dampness

In the air that surrounds us

As the corn stocks

Reach high up to the sky

And this time of year

Reminds me dear

That every moment's a souvenir

Cause it's fleeting

All the time

And this map upon my face

It bears new lines

To show the places

I have been

And fairly soon

I'll head on home

And face the moulding hands

That took me in

My friends

And this time of year

Reminds me dear

That every moment's a souvenir

You choose a book

Flip the page

Skim through the chapters

And put it away

Cause it's fleeting

All the time

As the seasons change

I can smell the decay

Of the flowers

That peaked their heads in May

And this time of year

Reminds me dear

That every moment's a souvenir

You choose a book

Flip the page

Skim through the chapters

And put it away

Cause people die

And people change

The landscape just erodes away

Cause it's fleeting

All the time
