Autumn

Swinging round the town like the rolling tides

Just want more time as we lock the sides

And on Laurel lane forage in the woods

And would you stay a while or lay a smile on me?

Suddenly the trees don’t seem so tall

As summer starts, summer starts to fall

A scattering of leaves leaks in your stair

Autumn is over me and gold for you my dear

And if you could be what you thought you could

Would there be room for me under this old roof?

All the autumn skies red and gold and low

There’s a look in your eyes, there’s a good way to go

And all the sleeping trees don’t seem so tall

When summer dies, time can start to draw

A scattering of leaves leaks in your stair

Autumn is over me and gold for you my dear

Although nights are long and the swallows left

These days still dawn over empty nests

And I’ve found the time time enough to be

In a peace of mind never you mind me!

And all the Evergreens don’t seem so tall

As summer gives Autumn takes the haul

A scattering of leaves leaks in your stair

Autumn is over me and gold for you my dear

Oh the handsome trees! Don’t seem so tall

What nature brings can’t be put on pause

A scattering of leaves leaks in your stair

Autumn is over me and gold for you my dear

This love is over me and gold for you my dear
