I Don'T Want To See This Damn Fall

I don't want to see this damn fall
I'm leaving before the leaves
aren't green at all
I can go to the desert
and wait for winter to come
I can live through the winter
until spring has sprung
I can stand the heat of summer
and the desert sun
but not the autumn
that is to come

Yes, I could see that it was a play on words or metaphoric language but the fact that you used leaves aren't green at all...But of course that could be refering to money..Enjoyed reading..Sara

Fall is my favorite season:( but it makes me really depressed sometimes... I hope that's not why you don't want it to come... well, you can always take a road trip to Alaska or somewhere that's already Winter!
