about

Written by Forbes Browne

lyrics

Out in the garden she stands
In autumn’s dark reds and (soft) browns
Cardigan limp in her hand
It slips, unaware, to the ground.

Blue eyes are bloodshot and wild
And her cheeks are streaked with dried tears
But never a word is said
She is gaunt with unspoken fears.

An ache of the head and heart
Pulses with slow-passing hours
With a loss the mind cannot grasp
She drifts among fading flowers.

Dragging slow shoes through the grass
Knotting and twisting long fingers
A swishing of skirt marks her path
As still in the gloaming she lingers.

Darkness comes in like the tide
And flowers shut down with the light
She cannot return to his side
And drifts like a wraith in the night.
