The days are getting short again Leaves fall from the trees Nights are haunted by howling winds Harbingers of the freeze But sometimes there’s no way to know Until it’s Too late and You wake up to an early snow Eyes have become cold again Like distant lights in the trees Waiting for winter to begin Before it’s up to your knees But some things you can never know Until it’s Too late and You’re buried under an early snow Brace yourself against the cold Wish you could have stayed in bed Falling leaves of red and gold A nascent nexus lies ahead When the days become warm again Mountains covered with green Flowers bloom as the clouds roll by There ain’t a better sight to be seen Brace yourselves against the cold There is a road we all must tread Falling leaves of red and gold A nascent nexus lies ahead
