Come walk down autumn's way with me.
While leaves are falling, one by one,
pretend that winter cannot be.
Be joyful in the waning sun.
While leaves are falling one by one,
we'll grieve that summer said goodbye.
Be joyful in the waning sun.
Too soon the light will fade and die.
We'll grieve that summer said goodbye
when all things wild have swiftly flown,
Too soon the light will fade and die,
the earth, too dark, its fate, unknown.
When all things wild have swiftly flown,
we shall endure until the spring,
the earth, too dark, its fate, unknown
in sleet and snow the moments bring.
We shall endure until the spring.
Pretend that winter cannot be
in sleet and snow the moments bring.
Come walk down autumn's way with me.
