Autumn Leaves 

It had gone from your eyes when you saw me
The light that used to adore me
It dimmed to a mist in the forest 
Where a canopy of leaves once fell for us

They fell like colourful snow
As we laughed & danced in its flow
 Wondering if we could stay there forever 
Thinking life was full of this splendour

[Chorus]
And autumn leaves fall down
As summer surrenders its crown
And the tears that fall from your eyes
Are reflections of how our love dies.
 

But, time came & took you away
And the only thing that I could say
Was nothing at all, I just let you fall
Gave complacency years to come call

I never thought of those leaves as dying
Did they fall from the canopy crying?
Did they already know of our fate
Of the void that time would create?

[Chorus]
And autumn leaves fall down
As summer surrenders its crown
And the tears that fall from your eyes
Are reflections of how our love dies.


The forest had been set alight
Crying embers into the night
Yet, new trees & leaves slowly grew
For the sun & the moon to shine through 

Now, both broken, here we stand
As your hand brushes my hand
There's a familiar light in your eyes
A kind of splendour, proving love never dies.

[Chorus]
And autumn leaves fall down
As summer surrenders its crown
And the tears that fall from your eyes
Are reflections of how our love dies.

Of how our love dies

Of how our love dies

There's tears in your eyes

Autumn Leaves ...

Published North East poet with a love of lyrics & music tries his hand at using controversial AI to construct some of his original lyrics & poems into song. The results are, like the technology itself, sometimes staggering. 
Humour, mental health, love, loss, nostalgia & heritage are all explored, as well as a few of his darker offerings.
Stephen acknowledges AI can never, & should never replace  real musicians, they will always be the rhythm in our bones. But, for poets & lyricists not blessed with musical ability, it can be a wondrous rabbit hole to fall into...

Any 'real' musicians wanting to replicate or do their own version of any of Stephen's 'songs' are quite welcome to try. Just DM Stephen on here with your version.
