Early Autumn

When an early autumn walks the land and chills the breeze

And touches with her hand the summer trees

Perhaps you'll understand what memories I own



There's a dance pavilion in the rain all shuttered down

A winding country lane all russet brown

A frosty window pane shows me a town grown lonely



That spring of ours that started so April-hearted

Seemed made for just a boy and girl

I never dreamed, did you, any fall would come in view

So early, early



Darling, if you care, please, let me know

I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so

Let's never have to share another early autumn
