You can leave if you want to but don’t look back I’m warning you-
You won’t like the way that things have changed.
Two black leaves will be my eyes, the winds will roll, the water rise-
All the things that time can rearrange.
If you go. These are the things you should know.
Backwards the water will flow.
Eyes in skull. Bouncing ball.
You were mine. We lived in a house made of time.
The prayers and the sayings would rhyme.
Dream you feel. Not quite real.
In the end you were a man, you stood there on your own.
Always smiling like a friend yet somehow quite alone.
You can leave if you want to but don’t look back I’m warning you-
You won’t like the way that things have changed.
Two black leaves will be my eyes, the winds will roll, the water rise-
All the things that time can rearrange.
If you see a picture that holds you and me,
A pitcher of pure family.
Dark things hide. Stay inside.
But the flame. He lived in a cage with no name.
The day he was born he was blamed.
Bouncing ball. Animal.
In the end, he was a fire he stood there on his own.
Worlds would disappear inside him
Who knows where they go?
You can leave if you want to but don’t look back I’m warning you-
You won’t like the way that things have changed.
Two black leaves will be my eyes, the winds will roll, the water rise-
All the things that time can rearrange.

One reply on “Two Black Leaves”
Hello,
All of the parts of this song were so good, I experienced all the important emotions one by one but not in the expected order. The best thing is that they were all there, just as we are all with you, always.
And the end was explosive in it’s quietness,
Julien, I know you are going to be ok. Look, there’s a lightly!
