IT WAS AUTUMN
Slipping into a memory, some tenderness for the ache
Too much dreaming can make you spin
Like leaves into the lake
But golds and reds at the water’s edge
Don’t seem to make me blue
‘Cause it was autumn when I first saw you.
Every time that I take a step I hear that crumbling sound.
Too much dreaming can crack you like
The chestnuts on the ground.
A touch of frost and the summer’s lost
But still the sun streams through
And it was autumn when I first saw you.
When there’s frost on the pumpkin,
There’s a chill on the town
But there’s grain in the silo
When the wheat stalk is brown.
Slipping into a memory, got some bruises to ease.
Too much dreaming can empty you
Like wind in weary trees.
August dies in September skies
But still, the sky is blue
And it was autumn when I first saw you.
