A Songbird's Ode To Autumns Gone
As winter's gloom descends upon the trees
Autumn slumbers 'neath the fallen leaves
Spring's distant dream is yet to be perceived
As trees weep in the cold silence of their grief
Autumn slumbers 'neath the fallen leaves
As a lone bird sings a melancholy song
The trees weep in the cold silence of their grief
To a songbird's ode to autumns gone
As a lone bird sings a melancholy song
A sad song within my heart is born
As I hear the songbird's ode to autumns gone
That echoes in the twilight until morn
A sad song within my heart is born
As winter's frost through the forest spawns
The songbird's ode to autumn echoes until morn
Before it takes its envied flight to warmer dawns
As winter's frost through the forest spawns
Spring's distant dream is yet to be perceived
Then the songbird takes its envied flight to warmer dawns
As winter's gloom descends upon the trees
