Autumn
Lonely shadow of wind swept grain
Longing for her caress, so sweet
As the birds mourn with forlorn tweet
Lonesome wind laced with dark red stain
Her time had come to fade away
She wished she had more time to stay
The morning calls for kiss of rain
Dew quenched the drought of missing her
But falling leaves gave the answer
The blown out souls mourned in deep pain
The night stole the light of the day
Though angels came to sing and pray
For they will not see her again
Until the time for fellowship
They wished she will not lose that grip
Lonely shadow of wind swept grain
Lonesome wind laced with dark red stain
The morning calls for kiss of rain
The blown out souls mourned in deep pain
For they will not see her again
