Autumn

Voice as quiet as the rain

He whispers in the wind

Caressing softly weary words, his kiss

And Autumn comes with amber eyes

Pale as the night

To enfold the storm

To dance

Within the frost

To carry dreams of life away to dust

To cry

Your name out loud

To carry fear away cast down the shroud

To die

When summer fades to silence

When winter's still a dream

And solemn sleep to you is blind again

Then Autumn comes with amber eyes

Pale as the night

To enthrall your soul

To dance

Within the dust

To carry dreams of life turned into frost

To cry

Your name out loud

To carry fear away cast down the shroud

To die

To shatter doubt

And when the years have passed away

When memories have gone

And darkness is your day

Your dreams of Autumn carry you to days of youth and life

And sorrow falls before the drifts of faded scarlet skies

When Autumn called your name

Only the silence calls your name
