Sepia-Tinted Season Is On

Sepia-tinted season is on
You are yellow and red
Crunching leaves in the lawn
Soft sun on bed



You are yellow and red
As I pick apples
Soft sun on bed
Squirrels under maples



As I pick apples
In red-and-gold forest
Squirrels under  maples
A Robin in your armrest



In red-and-gold forest
Snowy mist in air
A Robin in your armrest
A petal in your hair


Snowy mist in air
Gondola waits in the lake
A petal in your hair
Rich flavour of the cake



Gondola waits in the lake
String of verdant hillsides
Rich flavour of the cake
Evening playing with tides



String of verdant hillsides
October nip in air
Evening playing with tides
Melancholy eyes in the chair




October nip in air
Crunching leaves in the lawn
Melancholy eyes in the chair
Sepia-tainted season is on
