Lyrics

Autumn comes on like a thief
She needs your comfort in her grief
You walk with her in disbelief
And she dies there in your arms
You fear her for the strength she holds
But you love her for the way she folds
The blankets of the years around you
Soft with her sister's charms
With flashing eyes and changing moods
She gathers up her wandering brood
Of passing thoughts and dreams renewed
Beneath her woolen gown
Autumn takes me by surprise
Fancy colors her disguise
But the chords of winter must arise
And the wild geese must go down
Singing goodbye to immortal men
And goodbye to the rain and wind
For us there are no dreams nor sins
Just an ancient winding course
Autumn, she's away with men
'Cause she teases them with life and then
She leaves them for another
And they shiver in remorse
The cold that comes to saints and thieves
The hollow sound of the naked trees
The failing field, the crumbled leaves
They do their dance of death
I wait for love, I wait for wind
I cannot let the winter in
And I count the places that I've been
And the friends that I have left
Singing goodbye to immortal men
And goodbye to the rain and wind
For us there are no dreams nor sins
Just an ancient winding course
And autumn, she's away with men
'Cause she teases them with life and then
She leaves them for another
And they shiver in remorse
