The October leaves They whisper in lemon chimes And ring autumn's bells That glisten in colors rhymes And sings simple songs of love That echo from other times They write no words between the lines The cloud ships that soar And raise high above the shore Upon sails of fire To sunset's cathedral doors Not to die with the day that's past Or to cry for what's past before They follow the sun for one day more When yesterday's clown Who weeps when the curtains down Sees the circus has gone And tomorrow's another town Your kingdoms will have no rings To wear all your paper crowns You'll fall but my ear will hear no sound Tomorrow I'm gone I'll leave you alone with your fears I'd rather move on And you'd rather hide behind tears You cry in the starlit nears But you run when the rainbow appears So we'll walk other days our separate ways
