Leaves of Autumn
In Fairfax, Alabama, all the trees have empty nests
Autumn leaves are falling with the rain
Tenderly you pick one up and put it in your book
Sunday morning take it out again
Cottonwoods are packing snow but all the mills are dry
Plant a pinewood tree for Christmas cheer
Cut in down and burn it when your holiday is done
Only vinyl trees are good all year
Autumn is more peaceful than the bustle of the spring
All the leaves are settled for the day
Rainbows of the spring are now the shadows of the fall
Wintertime is never far away.
