Well an old friend from his old end of town dropped by today And way down deep inside me something died When she came 'round to see him that way Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind will blow Like a cold winter squall And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall And I'll be drinkin' again And thinkin' whenever she calls There's a storm comin' on And it won't be too long 'til the snow falls Oh, I'll be sober some But when October comes and goes In no time at all I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall Oh how quick they slip away Here today and gone tomorrow Love and seasons never stay Bitter winds are sure to follow Now there's no doubt it's gonna be cold out tonight, I've shivered all day And when I look in his eyes, needin' to hold him so tight, he just looks away Oh, he'll swear that it's true, she's just someone he knew long ago But I'll know that's not all And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
