I'm so sorry,
I'm not sure if you liked banksias I never asked you
It's all running, all worry and rushing so I hope they gave you a moment,
A brief final chance to dance all the dances you had
With the people who loved you,
The street sits so quiet
The wind doesn't move
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
The banksias fall they're bright red and gold for you
Maybe it's their time of year or maybe they knew
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
I knew you as happy, a loveable rouge
Toothy smile set for salt and for stone
So I hope you were happy, I hope someone you loved
Held you close when the fog sat too low
And all of the roses will be too white
because 20 years old's too soon for goodbye
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
The banksias fall they're bright red and gold for you
Maybe it's their time of year or maybe they knew
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
It's too early to be closing your story the pages are aching to change
But I wish that you knew we're all singing for you
From the front to the back they're all singing for you
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
The banksias fall they're bright red and gold for you
Maybe it's their time of year but I think that they knew
The banksias fall as I'm walking home for you
I'm so sorry, it wasn't your time
Find some peace in the quiet of night
