Andrew Peterson - Three Days Before Autumn lyrics

he's singing at the foot of the throne Three Days Before Autumn, A cold winter came Blew in on a telephone cord, when my friend went away And I swear I heard thunder at the sound of his name And he never even knew me at all, But I loved him the same And it's easy enough to say "He's better off, Chalk it up to the luck of the draw, Life is tough, it was his time to go, That's all," well, I don't know about that 'Cause I'm broken and breathless and bent to the ground And I'm listening Lord, but I don't hear a sound And though the angels in Heaven are dancing around To the music that I want to hear And I'm watching and wishing and wondering why This silence is louder the harder I try And though I can't believe it, I can't deny that the winter came early this year, Yeah, the winter came early this year And I stood in the kitchen, and I stared at the wall And I prayed for some wisdom, so I could make a little sense of it all. And I thought about the seasons, and how quickly the pa** Now there's little to do but hope that the good ones will last And it's easy enough to say, "He's better off, Chalk it up to the luck of the draw, Life is tough, it was his time to go, That's all," well, I don't know about that 'Cause I'm broken and breathless and bent to the ground And I'm listening Lord, but I don't hear a sound And though the angels in Heaven are dancing around To the music that I want to hear And I'm watching and wishing and wondering why This silence is louder the harder I try And though I can't believe it, I can't deny that the winter came early this year, Yeah, the winter came early this year And this night is beautiful. I see the sky about to rain And I think I hear the wild wind howling Come to blow me away And I take comfort in knowing that this ain't my home And though I am lonely, I ain't alone And I know that he's singing at the foot of the throne That don't seem to mattter down here 'Cause the winter came early this year Three Days Before Autumn
