parting - jesse eisenbird lyrics
[verse 1]
in early fall through halloween
you took a series of photographs
documenting the changing of leaves
from living to last breath
[verse 2]
you could see the trees through
the window of the hospital room
where your mother was clinging to life
[verse 3]
the changes started slow
but came more quickly now
as cancer climbed through her body
like an overgrown garden
[verse 5]
when winter stormed in loud and ahead of schedule
like party guests arriving hours before planned
[refrain 1]
the last shots of color you’d hoped to capture
fell a sudden and swift death
[bridge]
that night, you woke to the sound of nurses and doctors rushing in
to fight a battle they would not win this time
it almost felt as if she had decided to let go
when the leaves did
[verse 6]
you waited until the anniversary passed
before you studied the photographs
[refrain 2]
the last shots of leaves were burning a deep red
as if they no longer feared death
