Pages fall like drops from melting eaves Pages underfoot like autumn leaves While I search for the words to make things right Buried words always hidden from sight I don't know how to tell you all that's here In my flooded mind just the wrong way is clear Ever underneath, sunk down too deep The right words are somewhere, always out of reach But let me string together a few at a time And hope it can suffice with these few lines To say I love you sounds far too weak But it's the strongest thing I know how to speak My heart goes with you every day So walk carefully here or far away But walk proudly too, knowing you're loved My dear one, my flesh and my blood
