As the summer fades away
You'll lead me to the garden
Passing the lovers
Swooning in the autumn
See yourself, your image in the eyes of someone else
See yourself, your fears as they appear to someone else
When the sun sets
On dark silhouettes
Collapse into dream
As summer fades away
Laugh at my reflection
Passed to a lover
Seeking your affection
Though I know you won't be here for long
You'll lead me to the garden
Passing the lovers
Swooning in the autumn
See yourself, your image in the eyes of someone else
See yourself, your fears as they appear to someone else
When the sun sets
On dark silhouettes
Collapse into dream
As summer fades away
Laugh at my reflection
Passed to a lover
Seeking your affection
Though I know you won't be here for long

I pray for scarlet fields to save me Whole and white and pure
...seems pretty clear.
