Autumn in Eden
It was late October
And the world was a little slower
And the jack-o-lanterns smiled without mirth.
Life was a little easier
As we drank the new wine
And we talked about the frost upon the earth.
Things we couldn't say
Stayed between us as we lay
Examining our souls for purity and worth.
We were found wanting,
Not knowing what we wanted
Banished from that place to roam the earth.
We know the mark of Cain.
We know that special pain.
We have seen Eden's glade.
If only we knew, we had it made.
