Lyrics and Music by Ryan Gregory Floyd

Thanks to Marion Spencer whose love during Isaac coaxed this song from my anxious soul while the rains poured down on our humble little house.

lyrics

Intro: A F#m C#m E
do you still remember
drifting with september’s leaves,
naked in the gray light
as the storm was taking flight?
somehow down the line we
found our lives entwined in leaves,
singing songs of whitman
while the storm was raining grief.

Chorus: F#m D A E
all of a sudden
comes a crashing of thunder
something has shifted
and we see where we’ve drifted...

Verse 2:
do you still remember
drifting with september’s leaves,
floating through the ruins
of the world we’d come to grieve?

Chorus 2:
when it was over
we walked out on the old pier.
you reached for my hand
as we looked at the new land.

Middle Section:
D A E
nothing is as it was
F#m D
nothing will be the same
A E
what’s lost sleeps beneath the waves
D
what lives is the name
A
that it gave

Instrumental Verse

Verse 3
watching from the sandbar
as the iron clouds recede,
leaving in their wake a
city laid to waste in leaves.

Chorus 3
when it was over
we walked out on the old pier.
you reached for my hand
as we looked at the new land.
