Autumn's Song

The green of Summer dims her lust
The trees shed tears of Red and Gold
I close my eyes and try to forget us
But longing memories must unfold

                         The way I held her
                         The way we kissed
                          Her eyes of love
                          Her ruby lips
                         To hear her laughter
                         To hear her cry
                          The pain of sorrow
                          That ends in goodbye

I close my eyes, the nights grow longer
I feel the pain, the days grow cold
I search for answer to ponder
Amist a sea of Red and Gold

Those carefree days of Summer flee
With love's memory I befall
As Autumn beckons to surround me
Winter's nearing, her presence calls

                         A Springtime fancy
                          A Summer's love
                           An Autumn's lost
                             A Winter's rest

All for my heart to endear
Into this chorus of Autumn I fall
As Fall's breezes sing of a love so dear
In Autumn's Song her love I recall
