The leaves are restless in their dancing I lean hard against the wind Smell of rain upon the pavement Withered branches sway and bend
There is a whisper at the windows And melancholy heavy in the air Autumn comes in wearing red and yellow And leaves with a black veil in her hair
The shadows reach into the twilight Scarves are waving their goodbyes To the sun and to the summer As the moon begins to rise
And silhouettes of things remembered They form inside my mind's unblinking eye As, once again, we find ourselves returning To make another circle in the sky
