The leaves they fall
Upon the day that makes a memory
Those bleeding eyes
They call me silently in (?)

The final night
I guard her sleep
I can't do without
The fears down deep
There's nothing good in this mourning

Oh, and I know
(?) feelings in the one I would out last
My little friend is getting tired
Fading last

Did not want to see the signs of the dimming flame
I need to help or die
Tonight I fear I'll say goodbye to my little friend
Don't want to let you down

The warmest heart I found
I (lower) into the ground
My tears forever with you
Resting under your tree
You have always loved this place
It now belongs to you
I need to set you free
And go all alone

One day in my feeble (?)
You gave me your heart
And stole my heart
And knowledge came too fast for me
To hear yours (close) I (meant) goodbye

The kindest heart I found
I (lower) into the ground
Your smile kept me alive
Back (when) the skies (were still)

You always liked this place
Now sleep under the tree
I planted here the day [that you were born]

I should have been (ready, seen the need in the air)
My little old friend I tried
(a way to want) to let you (go)
The day I had to say goodbye and turn (?)
But I never left though
