Autumn

And when the land begins to call

The sprites they dance

The leaves they fall

The change's begun

and what remains

Not even thoughts ?not even names

We can remember can forget

We can achieve the highest aims

But we won't change the rules we're depending on

Now the freak of nature's holding up

the mirror to the haughty thoughts

Our brains are filled up

Don't you feel the earth is trembling to heal

the wounds we injured to her heart

The things are easy as they are

And when the land begins to call

The sprites they dance

The leaves they fall

The change's begun

and what remains

Not even thoughts ?not even names

And when the time begins to fade

The side-scene changes because it's late

We cannot keep ?we drop the ball

For now the land begins to call
