Here I am in the middle of my room
And I don't know which way to turn.
I see the flames at the edge of the room
As the pages start to burn.
I need to move but there's nowhere to go
And my limbs won't respond in time
There's a face that I think I should know
And maybe that face is mine.
All of these memories
Slip away like leaves on the breeze.
Like leaves on a breeze
Another day ...
A stranger in our home
Will she even know my name?
Lord I feel so alone.
But then she'll touch my hand
That familiar smile.
How are you today old man?
And I'm safe again for a while
There's a darkness under the stairs
That draws me closer in.
I hear the music, the echoes of the past
Through the turmoil that's within
I see a girl, there's tears as she smiles.
But she's holding onto my hand.
Her name is there, but then it's gone.
I hope she'll understand.
All of these memories
Slip away like leaves on the breeze.
Then you touch my hand
And the storm is gone for a while.
Like leaves on a breeze.
