Autumn

The summer's gone - She's left again Taken her green songs and walked away She's left behind an aging maid who drifts around in golds and browns Yet life's love song will linger on- With you around, Summer's never gone Our world has lost it's lively ways Life grown quiet in Winter's haze Day's hours too short Dark nights too cold Though I'll stay warm in love's safe hold Yes, life's love song Will linger on Love lasts with more than summer's song Spring must come back soon soothe away Old Winter's frown,- Her blacks and greys. A fresh new song will free the ground And fill the air With Summer's sounds So life's love song makes the season's one They pass as years, Love's song lingers on.
