The Chill of an Early Fall

Well her old friend from her old end of town

Dropped by today

And way down deep inside me something died

When he came round to see her that way

Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind

Will blow like a cold winter squall

And I’ll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

And I’ll be drinking again

And thinking whenever he calls

There’s a storm coming on

And it won’t be too long til the snow falls

Oh I’ll be sober some

But when October comes and goes in no time at all

I’ll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

Oh how quick they slip away

Here today and gone tomorrow

Loving seasons never stay

Bitter winds are sure to follow

Now there’s no doubt it’s gonna be cold out tonight

I’ve shivered all day

And when I look in her eyes

Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away

Oh she’ll swear that it’s true, he’s just someone she knew

Long ago, but I know that’s not all

And I’ll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

Oh I’ll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
