We fell apart that autumn
We had our shares of problems
Time and the world were against us
These walls started to fence us
We tried hard to talk it out
We knew what the issues were about
But the strangest thing then occurred
For we ended without a word
All our thoughts had been spoken
All those promises had been broken
He paused and gathered his coat
He left and that was all he wrote
The leaves and we had started to fall
All of our plans had come to a stall
All the things that we held so dear
Were the things that we started to fear
Kids and dogs and that white gated yard
The complications began to hit us hard
There was nothing about which to shout
It was just time for us to be in or out
All our thoughts had been spoken
All those promises had been broken
He paused and gathered his coat
He left and that was all
that was all he wrote
that was all he wrote
All our thoughts had been spoken
All those promises had been broken
The words were forming in my throat
But he left; that was all he wrote
