Oh Autumn
Sweet autumn
my one true love
You bring the crisp air
And chilled nights
You bring the rain
And the warm-coloured leaves
You bring the rattling noise of trains
And the dim headlights of a car on a cloudy day
You bring the warm drinks
And the small smiles
You bring the quiet
And the absence of green
You bring the sweater days
remind us that the seasons are changing
You bring the wool scarves and coats
Showing us that the world is moving on from the heat and noise of summer
Oh Autumn
Sweet autumn
You’re a small town in the midwest
With its folk music in its centre square
You’re the twang of the violin
Heard in fall dances
Your hayrides and pumpkin patches
That makes us reminiscing the past
You’re the nights spent in the woods
Spilling secrets left in the land’s cold ground
You’re the crunchy leaves in morning strolls
Paths barely visible through the fog
Oh Autumn
Sweet autumn
You bring the unknown the nostalgia and the warmth
Only lasting for a few months
But feeling like an eternity
Oh autumn
Sweet autumn
If only you would stay longer
how we will miss you
You left to soon
If only you could be with us longer
Stopping the leaves from falling
Keeping the snow at bay
If only winter didn’t come
Making everything so cold
Making the land so unforgiving
If only you would come sooner
So we didn’t have to wait
Through the weirdness of spring
and the stickiness of summer
If only the days would stop
And we could love you longer
Autumn
Sweet autumn
