As she walked away petals slowly fell
And I followed her trail

She's looking down at me
From the house with the stairs
Now I have to climb
Up to her salty glare

Piles full of rose stems
She throws hers in
looks at me one last time
Then turns and walks to her friends

The earth shakes
The ground breaks
I shout her name
But that last look was my only keepsake

She left me to fall endlessly in the dark
Yet I still call her name
