Yellow Leaves Are Falling
Outside the window, a cold dawn is burning away
You sit on the floor, hugging your knees so tight
In your head — only one answer, but useless to say
To your questions and empty doubts in the night
You read about feelings that reach past the skies
You watched movies, frozen with happiness then
But your magical world has dissolved before your eyes
Shattered in two — never whole again
Falling, falling, falling — the yellow leaves drift
In the morning sky, the last stars burn and die
Stubborn memory repeats a familiar melody's gift
In my heart, cold thoughts freeze — I don't know why
Something alive inside me dies without you near
Something alive inside me dies without you here
Without you — it disappears
I'll step outside into the gray, heavy gloom
Where the wind tears the leaves from the poplar trees
I carry the pain like a shard under my rib
And with every minute, it cuts deeper with ease
Maybe somewhere by chance we will meet again one day
You'll look away, and I'll say nothing in reply
It's just that our short summer has faded away
And to the question "why?" — no answer comes, no lie
Falling, falling, falling — the yellow leaves drift
In the morning sky, the last stars burn and die
Stubborn memory repeats a familiar melody's gift
In my heart, cold thoughts freeze — I don't know why
Something alive inside me dies without you near
Something alive inside me dies without you here
Without you — it disappears
Maybe someday it will get a little bit lighter
Maybe your image will fade from my eyes
Time will heal the scars and make them brighter
Everything that we once loved, all our ties
But how can I forget your lips so tender?
And your laugh that sounded like a crystal spring?
I know this longing will be forever — no surrender
I've grown used to it as the only real thing
Falling, falling, falling — the yellow leaves drift
In the morning sky, the last stars burn and die
Stubborn memory repeats a familiar melody's gift
In my heart, cold thoughts freeze — I don't know why
Something alive inside me dies without you near
Something alive inside me dies without you here
Without you — it disappears
