Strawbs - Autumn lyrics

rate me

I sense Autumn coming on<br />

The mist has hung low all day<br />

Small birds gather on the wing<br />

Preparing to make their way.<br />

<br />

The trees begin to show<br />

A trace of brown among the green<br />

Bringing back the memories<br />

That only you and I have seen.<br />

<br />

I sense Autumn coming on<br />

The sun sinking red and deep<br />

The fires burning in the fields<br />

As late Summer falls asleep.<br />

<br />

The leaves begin to scatter<br />

As the North wind calls their name<br />

Folding gently back into<br />

The silent earth from which they came.<br />

<br />

The Winter Long<br />

(Cousins)<br />

<br />

Still waters flow<br />

Sea breezes blow<br />

Wild flowers grow<br />

Abundant at your feet.<br />

<br />

Soft falling snow<br />

Warm candle glow<br />

Flushed faces show<br />

The pleasure when we meet.<br />

<br />

Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you<br />

The winter long I will always be with you.<br />

Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you<br />

I will be the one who will always see you through.
