Autumns A Comin’

I was walkin’ down a country road
Just whistlin’ a mindless tune.
When the wind started blowin’
And a golden leaf blew down
At my feet and I realized
That the autumn was a comin’.

Oh my dear
I greatly fear
That summers at an end.
Soon the days will be growin’
So much shorter
And the nights will be
So much longer.
I feel so lonely
That I could cry
And I wonder why?

So my darlin’
Take my hand
And lets walk down the country road
A ways.
Among the swirls of reds, oranges and browns
While the golden sun is still warm upon us
And the trees are not bare yet.
Lets go a runnin’ through the wood
Before autumn comes a knockin’
Upon our door.
