the autumn leaves drift by my window the falling leaves of red and gold the autumn wind the summer kisses the sun-burned hand i used to hold since you went away the days grow long and soon i'll hear old winter's song but i'll miss you most of all my darling when autumn leaves start to fall -------- summer you old indian summer your the tear that comes after June-times-laughter you see so many dreams that don't come true dreams we fashioned when summertime was new you are here to watch over a heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken you're the ghost of a romance in June going astray fading too soon that's why i say farewell to you, indian summer
