My mood is clothed in Autumn’s shades My summer sun begins to fade Fading away with the waning year Changing my tempo now Autumn is here
Time to leave my friends behind I leave this town with you on my mind The dead leaves are burning, the year is decaying Winter returning, no use in delaying
One week ago we walked by here I never dreamed life’s death was so near We laughed and played the summer through The sun is going and I must go too.
Autumn Gold the Winter snow, There’s some goes north but its north I must go Leaving this town and the friends that I know It’s late in the year there’ll be ice and snow.
When the sun returns I’ll come back too I’ll write a song and I’ll sing it for you.
