Lyrics
You were always there to hold my hand
When times were hard to understand
But now the tides of time have turned, they keep changing
Seasons range, but you remain the same
A steady heart, a sun to rain
You’ll be the light that’s shining bright
High above me
Autumn gold losing hold
We are leaves meant to fall
There’s a meaning to all that fades
Freezing winds were stayed by warming words
To touch your healing to the hurt
I’ll treasure every lesson learned to the embers
Fire fails, blushes pale
We will answer the call
There’s a meaning to all our
Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams
Fill the need that can leave us grieving alone
Frail is our beauty in the end
But all we count is sentiment
A memory stays to guide the way, and whisper
Don’t lose sight, don’t deny
We are leaves meant to fall
There’s a meaning to all our
Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams
Fills the need that can leave us grieving alone
A symphony resounding in our minds
Guides us through what we knew would come all a long
Sometimes I feel I don’t have the words
Sometimes I feel I’m not being heard
And then I fear I’m feeling nothing more
Sometimes I feel I don’t want this change
I think we all have to rearrange
And now I feel there’s no one losing more
Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams
Fill the need that can leave us grieving alone
A symphony resounding in our minds
Guides us through
(As you hear me)
As you do
(As you need me)
Making true what we knew would come all along
Trivia
“The lyrics were written by me and Amanda [Somerville] when someone close to Mark died. […] When my grandmother passed away, I was asked to sing it but I couldn’t because I was so sad and when you sing a sad song, you might cry or be overwhelmed with emotion and as a result you can no longer sing. So if I really, really delve into the lyrics during a concert, I cry and I can’t sing it. You need to keep some distance.” – Simone Simons
