The leaves are turning yellow, red, and beige
We turn a new page
The backyard covered deep in dying wood
And you're gone for good
I took our love to the river to die
I wasn't man enough, my bones cracked and dry
The first snow came the night you left
Your brother's blue eyes reflect the white sand
And reminders of you are everywhere
(Red, yellow, beige, we turn a new page)
Tiny bodies held in outstretched hands
(Deep dying wood, and you're gone for good)
Biting at ever-abandoned flesh
You took everything with you when you left
I took our love to the river to die
I lost my friend, lost my family, lost my soul
When I took our love to the river to die
The first snow came the night you left

Who says the french can't do some proper emo? Also awesome album opening with the Stand by Me references. The tracks are absolutely banging and the whole album is worth listening to. dominikgray
