Almost Autumn (Song)

1.

The first leaves fade from brightest jade

to golden hues and amber shades;

soon trees will blaze as skies grow grey;

leaves burning to light Winters way.

 

2.

 

The blue skies now seem twice as bright;

raging against the Autumn night

but swallows know it’s time to fly.

In their gentle song I hear goodbye.

 

Chorus:

 

It’s almost Autumn;

the rise of the fall;

the ember months are here.

Soon leaves of amber

will cover up all

and trees now green will grow bare.

 

But then the fireworks will fill the sky

with colours bright and gay

and pumpkin lanterns with their blazing eyes

will scare the ghosts away

and dainty Christmas snowflakes just like lace

will shower everything

and then before you know you’ll see the face

of bright returning spring.

 

 

3.

 

The days will shorten inch by inch

as Summer slowly starts to go.

Before you know you’ll feel the pinch

of frosty fingers on your nose.

 

4.

 

So, little children seize the day;

enjoy the sun; run out and play;

with every leaf that falls I hear

the Autumn slowly creeping near.

 

Chorus:

 

It’s almost Autumn;

the rise of the fall;

the ember months are here.

Soon leaves of amber

will cover up all

and trees now green will grow bare.

 

But then the fireworks will fill the sky

with colours bright and gay

and pumpkin lanterns with their blazing eyes

will scare the ghosts away

and dainty Christmas snowflakes just like lace

will shower everything

and then before you know you’ll see the face

of bright returning spring.
