Lyrics

Turn Into Earth

[Verse 1]

How your restless, hungry eyes

Speak of cloudy summer skies

The morning dew turns into rain

Lonely winds will call my name

[Verse 2]

Dying leaves of seasons brown

Losing life as they drift down

Too soon in life, return to earth

Only they can know their worth

[Verse 3]

Distant dreams of things to be

Wandering thoughts that can't be free

I feel my mind turning away

To the darkness of my day
