Autumn

Autumn is coming

The wisest of seasons

Filling her arms with a harvest to store

Oh, though she knows that a hard winters’ coming

Spring will follow

Of this she is sure

Autumn, she brings about changes

And all of these changes

I must learn to embrace

‘Cause I cannot turn the gold back to green

I cannot halt time or decay

No, I cannot halt time or decay

Winter is near now

The sun swinging low

Dragging her heels ‘cross the cold empty sky

Oh, I can’t remember last time I felt sure

But seasons draw circles

And so must I

Oh, seasons draw circles

So must I

I asked you to teach me

To trust you when I could not see

Why did I ask such a thing?

‘Cause now I can’t see you

And boy it gets dark in my head

Without your light shining in

Oh, will I see you again?

Will I see you again?

I ache for the river

That’s bent like an arrow

Where the hillside erupts

Into color divine

Oh, if I could go back

I would sit at your feet, there

I would drink all your colors like wine

Oh, I would drink in your light

I would drink in your light
