Lyrics:
The red leaves on the ground, fills the path I walk
Solitude fills me, I can hear my own steps
Gently crushing what hides under my shoes
I see dried leaves and whitened frosty grass
I look up to the tree tops, high up above
A sadness appears, I can feel my head spin
Leaning my head towards an old oak tree
I smell dried leaves and resin in the bark
Even though my feet is on the ground, far beneath the tree tops
My minds plays tricks on me
Fooling me I’m falling
Vertigo, amongst dried leaves and golden trees
Beside me a moss covered stone
My hands caressing its surface, I feel my heart beat
Embracing my knees once I sat down
I can feel dried leaves and a cold hard wind
I cannot move, my body pinned to the ground
A melancholy grips my chest, I feel a need to cry
