Backstory:

Hello,
 We started writing this song from the angle of a person struggling to let go of a person they care about who has addictions issues.  In the music, we tried to capture the anxiety, uncertainty and the dreaded feeling someone has when they feel torn apart but know deep down they are doing the right thing. 

Thank you for listening,
Rhonda

 AUTUMN LEAVES (J. Delaurier/R. Pisanello)

I hear you standing on the steps, calling out my name
Silent, I try not to move, so you’ll just go away
If I answer you now it’ll be just like it always was before
I imagine how you feel, as your footsteps fade
But my love could never be enough if you don’t wanna change
And I can't let you bring the mess you’ve made to my door, anymore

I've lost count, of how many times I've bailed you out
Like a twister we go round and round, broken pieces everywhere

Like autumn leaves when they fall
Our lives have scattered all directions
Shattered by addiction
That's stealing you from me
Feels like time is running out 
And it’s all tumbling down
Everything’s changing, everything’s fading
Like autumn leaves when they fall

All the days I drove around just to make sure you’re ok 
And the nights that I spend laying, praying God will keep you safe
I hope someone somewhere says a little prayer for me, cuz I believe

That someday, you'll know why I need to walk away
Oh I guess that’s why they say to fear less means to love more

Like autumn leaves when they fall
Our lives have scattered all directions
Shattered, by addiction
That's stealing you from me
Feels like time is running out 
And it’s all tumbling down
Everything’s changing, everything’s fading
Like autumn leaves when they fall

Got to let you go, I know it’s time
Got to let you fall, to let you fly...
Like autumn leaves
Like autumn leaves 
(ahh)
