blue charlotte
john mellencamp
exhausted by too many tears
while your eyes gaze up at me
we watch as it comes to an end
and if you pass tonight in your sleep
you will still have me to weep
i'm all that remains here
yellow letters from your youth
all of them seeking truth
the poems written from me to you
we watch all that screams
we watch as autumn comes to an end
our reflection in the mirror
now you've closed your eyes
it's a slow walk to the grave
here we are together today
you've been my whole life
we watch as something new begins
