Finally wrote some lyrics

This is my first attempt at lyrics; usually I do prose.

[U]The Autumn Song[/U] (not the real title, but who knows?)

Autumn leaves are falling
But you're not calling
Summer's gone and I wonder
How I can go on

It's the same air we're breathing
The same sky we keep reading
Doesn't make us any closer
It can't bring us closer

When the leaves have fallen
And the trees are bare
Will you recognize the coolness
Of me not there?

The beauty of the sky
Is not lost on me
But each night that it burns
My thoughts they turn

... and that's it, I think. I can't really remember the rest, and I'm at work. Actually, there might not even be a "rest"; I haven't really mastered "telling a story" through lyrics.

Also, there is musical accompaniment for this. For those at home that want to strum along, it's something like Dadd9, Fsus2, C, G. I don't know whether those are the right chord names, actually, so, if it sounds like garbage, it's your fault. The way I play it, it sounds like Stairway to Heaven times 18.

EDIT: I forgot a verse, so I added it.

I'm proud. I was expecting a joke or something, but those are good. Kudos! :D

They sound kind of like the chords from Donnie Darko. That's quite pretty Eggman.

I don't even know what an Fsus2 is.

Well, the D is xx0010 and the F is xx3210. The C & G are usual open chords.

ah...nevermind I was playing the D as xx0235 and the F as xx3213 Actually, the way I was playing it is much prettier...

Hey, sometimes joke songs are good and have meaning.

Hmmm... I think I'll steal that.

Feel free.

OK, I did, and I think I'll keep it. When I release my multi-platinum album, I'll make sure to thank you somewhere in the liner notes, right after I thank the record company, my dog, Gary Sinise and children everywhere.

Oh, and BTW, I added another verse, in case no one noticed. I forget which one it was, though.

Yeah, "Mad World."

What is this Donnie Darko you're always referring to? I can never tell if it's a movie or a band or an album or all three. I'm too lazy to Google it, even though it would have taken considerably less effort to Google it than type this relatively enormous post.

Anyways, give me the goods! If it's a movie, what's the plot? Who's in it? If any of the actors has the word "Baldwin" in their names, don't bother.

It's a movie. I'm heading to lunch with some buddies now, so I don't have time to explain the plot, but it's phenomenal.
