In the Autumn

In the autumn

The leaves are falling

In the yard

That we ran to

And I know

Your love is calling

In the confines

Of our abode

While they’re sleeping

They rustle softly

Winds blow leaves

That fall like rain

Take your time dear

You know I worry

When you’re too far

It brings me pain

In the morning

You brew me coffee

When I wake

You’re by my side

This is heaven

I think to myself

As your body lays by mine

In our bed

In the winter

The leaves have fallen

And all is still

Beneath the snow

And I know

Your love is callin

In the confines

Of our abode
