I made the call just too late

At the end of May

I just thought I could wait

For one more day

In the time that passed

You went down so fast

You went down so fast

Out of my reach, out of my hands

I didn't understand

I would have changed all my plans

An empty house, a setting sun

At four a.m.

Some battles fought are battles won

But this ain't one of them

One more shadow cast

You went down so fast

You went down so fast

Out of my reach, out of my hands

I didn't understand

I would have changed all my plans

I would have changed

Out of my reach, out of my hands

Now the leaves are turning brown

I watch 'em blow

Where the earth pulls them down

I let you go

As your breath unwinds

Through the restless pines

Out of my reach, out of my hands

I didn't understand

I would have changed all my plans

I would have changed

Out of my reach, out of my hands

I didn't understand

I would have changed all my plans

I would have changed
