Goldenrod along fence rows
Thistle on the lawn
Try to understand the crows
They just ramble on
Beauty of the Autumn wind
Changin' as she does
Lessons in remembering
Who I always was
I'd hate to leave you like this
I never wanted to need you like this
I'd hate to leave you at all
But I've gotta go
Like the leaves
Have gotta fall
Gratitude for all the birds
Pictures on the sill
I may not always find the words
But I pray you always will
The way the sun lights up the world
Can see it in your eyes
A moment just to soak it in
Wish I had more time
I'd hate to leave you like this
I never wanted to need you like this
I'd hate to leave you at all
But I've gotta go
Like the leaves
Have gotta fall
