Left Behind

Take away the flowers of spring
That once controlled my mind
And all the painful memories
That made you hard to find

As I look out in the autumn breeze
To find some peace of mind
I can not help but feel the love
I once left behind

There was a time when I was sure
No one could change my mind
I built a damn of stubbornness
And filled it to the sky

I've been weathered
I've been worn
I've floated long enough to know
That if this wind doesn't
take me to far
I'm sure I'll find a home

Take away the ashes
of this temporary flame
Fired by childhood memory
I know there's no such thing
