Falling leaves are lying on the ground to die The signs of autumn start showing in the sky And as I walk through life I feel the years go by Autumn sadness sometimes makes me want to cry The leaves in the trees and the birds in the sky Make the autumn the time of the moon The signs in the air say that the autumn is there And that winter is coming soon Anytime that you know, that you feel that it's there Autumn shadows start showing in the sky And then the winter is approaching by and by And as I walk through life I feel the years go by Autumn sadness sometimes makes me want to cry The leaves in the trees and the birds in the sky Make the autumn the time of the moon The signs in the air say that the autumn is there And that winter is coming soon Anytime that you know, that you feel that it's there The leaves in the trees and the birds in the sky Make the autumn the time of the moon The signs in the air say that the autumn is there And that winter is coming soon Anytime that you know, that you feel that it's there The clock is ticking faster Life is getting shorter Sands of time are running out The autumn of a lifetime Is when the sun is dying Sands of time are running out With the wind The sun disappears over the mountain The birds are flying south Autumn waters moving Making for the delta Making for the river mouth With the wind
