Autumn colors fade on the window pane
She is somewhere in the turning leaves and rain
I have been waiting since the first leaf fell
Counting every shadow in the well
The wind brings stories from the other side
I keep the door unlocked late at night
And I wonder if she knows the way back home
I wonder if she still feels the same alone
Oh my love come down from the hills
Where the morning light spills
I have kept the fire burning low
Waiting for you in the autumn glow
The phone rings hollow in the empty hall
I trace her name along the dusty wall
The days get shorter but the nights stay long
I sing her name into the quiet song
And I wonder if she hears me on the wind
I wonder if the waiting ever ends
Oh my love come down from the hills
Where the morning light spills
I have kept the fire burning low
Waiting for you in the autumn glow
I see her face in every falling sun
Each step she takes is not yet done
I am the keeper of the turning year
Until she walks through the door and I can hear
Oh my love come down from the hills
Where the morning light spills
I have kept the fire burning low
Waiting for you in the autumn glow
The leaves keep falling
The fire keeps burning low
