Eyelids hang like setting suns

And set over the windowsills

Scattered through thin lights of dawn

That wandered through the hills

Summer died but autumn leaves

Drop through a new love's sunshine

Kicking through the browns that cracked

In walks through trees at one time

Autumn, I know what you are all about

It's time to feel I've got it all worked out

I hope we will begin to see

Such a love in our hearts, never apart

And when we're done

Then you can prove that you can run

Winter comes, it's getting very cold

In autumn time, I'm feeling very old

I look around and around, the green's gone its way

There's nothing left now but stop and look away

And in the distance, I can see your smiling face

Time to leave now, time to lose the race with autumn

Autumn's burning now
