When the leaves began to fall I heard Nature's lonesome cry of wisdom All the birds had flown away While I stayed And watched alone the sky turn gray But then winter came on a cloudy night With the saddest smile in a bag of ice Told me “don't be afraid of the lonely times” Then winter came on a cloudy night
In a moonlight dance with a starless sky Told me “come dance with me You'll keep warm and wise” And then, on a sunny april day Spring came by With sparkling trees and green leaves And all the birds came back to sing The sweetest melodies, delivered by the breeze… …. To my ears
