If You Were Coming In Fall

As the warm air moves out and the cold air breeze in There’s no sign of you coming back this season, If you choose the winter it'll remind me of the cold nights Forgetting the happiness and remembering the fright Remembering the way you took the color off my skin Leaving me uncovered in this ice cold dreadful wind, I’m going to clean before spring, before the birds start to sing Before the rain knocks against the trees and make the leaves ring Try to mop away the tears and sweep away the cries Try to forget the way you hung me out to dry, When summer is here, I know that you are near But not close enough to dance in the sun To run across green meadows till the day is done Instead, i’m lonesome in this impassionate heat wave My nights are long but I try to stay brave If you were coming in fall Winter is long gone I have escaped the showers that April brong, and the caged bird’s song In the summer I hope you heart stayed pure as mine Please come in the fall because it's the perfect time.
