Manhattan autumn, a morning like any other
She woke up thinking shes the luckiest mother
But she feels so helpless when hes not around
She feels the weakness hes always kept her from
Said mama Im off now, I've made you pancakes
I will give you a call on every break
Bent down to kiss her and take a look through her eyes
To read the words she would never let him realize
Dont go, I need you
In every breath I breathe you
Its yet to come
The moment to know...
Staring at the tree, outside the window
She was counting the leaves, waiting for the next wind to blow
But out of the blue, there came a strong wind
Shook 'em off of the tree, all the yellows and greens
Glasses were shaking, panic in the streets
Chilled to the bone, she was caught in a bad dream
Emergency sirens filling any gaps of silence
She could hear her words out there but no longer soundless
Dont go, I need you
In every breath I breathe you
And here it comes
The moment to know
The moment to know he was flying away
And she will never find the words to pray
The moment to know he will never come home
Manhattan autumn remains forever grey
