Drifting Trees
In the September breeze
Wind whips hard through the leaves
And the branches bow down
Spilling leaves to the ground
There's a chill in the air
Brightness shines everywhere
And I'm up to my knees
In leaves from drifting trees
Every way that I turn
Autumn colours all burn
In fifty shades of gold
Dazzling bright and bold
And the ground lies ablaze
To my mesmerised gaze
As I'm up to my knees
In leaves from drifting trees
Blow wind blow bring down all the leaves
Blow wind blow, blow, blow
Blow wind blow on those drifting trees
Blow wind blow, blow, blow
Smells of subtle decay
That make my senses sway
As the leaves are whipped round
With a brisk and crisp sound
And the colours drip down
To their nest on the ground
While I'm up to my knees
In leaves from drifting trees
Blow wind blow bring down all the leaves
Blow wind blow, blow, blow
Blow wind blow on those drifting trees
Blow wind blow, blow, blow
Drifting.....trees
Drifting.....leaves
Drifting.....trees
Drifting.....leaves
Blow wind blow bring down all the leaves
Blow wind blow, blow, blow
Blow wind blow on those drifting trees
Blow wind blow, blow, blow
