Summer has gone again
The leaves are falling from the trees
Hedges burst with bright rose hips
I can taste them on my lips
Until Autumn leaves
These leaves were not growing for long
Budded blossomed bloomed and now they're gone
And now they stay on the ground
Where the earthy worms will grind them down
Until autumn leaves
Winter's cold grip clamps again
Mud slides under my feet
Frost bites hard and the snow falls down
As the autumn leaves
Spring has sprung again
The sap is pumping through the trees
Stems rise up and break new ground
Birds fly free, wheels spin round
We will ride until Autumn leaves
Autumn's crown will fall again
The seasons cycle in their chain
Sunset notches up a gear
They tread the tracks of the former years
We will ride until autumn leaves
