But When The Mist

This time of year I walk outside
This world's been taken for a ride
And you are somewhere in the town
And all around me red and brown
I go my way
Follow the sky

But when the mist is on the lake
The two of you are hard to take
Across the water in a mirror
So far away yet halfway here
I turn around
Got no other choice
Why you skipped me I don't know
The wind will come and leaves will blow
I tried too hard and maybe when
The leaves come back I'll try again
I'll find your name
Follow some clue
