Lost

I'm so sorry,
 I'm not sure if you liked banksias I never asked you
 It's all running, all worry and rushing so I hope
 they gave you a moment,
 A brief final chance to dance all the dances you had
 With the people who loved you,
 The street sits so quiet
 The wind doesn't move
 The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
 The banksias fall they're bright red and gold for you
 Maybe it's their time of year or maybe they knew
 The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
 I knew you as happy, a loveable rouge
 Toothy smile set for salt and for stone
 So I hope you were happy, I hope someone you loved
 Held you close when the fog sat too low
 And all of the roses will be too white
 because 20 years old's too soon for goodbye
 The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
 The banksias fall they're bright red and gold for you
 Maybe it's their time of year or maybe they knew
 The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
 It's too early to be closing your story the pages
 are aching to change
 But I wish that you knew we're all singing for you
 From the front to the back they're all singing for you
 The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
 The banksias fall they're bright red and gold for you
 Maybe it's their time of year but I think that they knew
 The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
 I'm so sorry, it wasn't your time
 Find some peace in the quiet of night
