Sad Like Winter Leaves Lyrics
tired. he stood in line at the grocery store. a bottle of wine and nothing more. an empty apartment to go home to. it'd been that way since nineteen seventy-two. a line on his face for every year she'd missed. a scar on his arm for every time he tried to follow her. a tear in his eye for every day gone by. going home to no one and still you could hear him cry. if i brought you down. if i caused you to drown. he's sad like winter leaves. but she won't leave his mind tonight. he stares upon her picture on the wall. and then begins to cry. let it go. he wakes to the sunrise. a broken glass upon the floor. the salt dried upon his cheeks. we've seen this all before. let it go

A really great song written about a man who's wife/love had drowned. I especially like "...a scar on his arm for every time he'd tried to follow" showing weakness and brutal honesty is a Benton Falls' Specialty.
I don't think she literally drowned. I have a feeling she killed herself - I'm thinking he means drowning in misery. Basically saying he's sorry that he wasn't there enough for her. Because he also says - If I brought you down.

this guys brilliant at telling a clear, heatbreaking story. this may be a guy hed seen on the street, a drunk who had lost his wife and then gone into a complete mental breakdown, pretty sad. great song the delivery is beautifull
heartbreak made beautiful.
its so depressing, and i can really feel/relate to this song..
Such a sad, yet beautiful song. Very introspective and this is one of the many songs that makes me LOVE this band.
