As autumn comes, I stay behind
And got the song she leaves for me
She sings, "Be gentle, be kind"
This is not always easy
But if a man should ask for more
Don't be afraid to give
And when he dares not ask at all
Then offer what you have
She shows me pine and cedar tree
Magnolia you and Tamarisk
The evergreen is ever-free
I hear her, I remember this
I shuffle with October leaves
And worn out wings of butterflies
Through water whispers, rocking weeds
I sing her autumn lullaby
