Autumn shows up unexpected, never calls ahead.
One bright morning, there you'll find her, on your doorstep, dressed in red
Brings a spray of purple aster, jug of cider, maybe wine
All you know is, Autumn's lookin' fine.

Autumn always brings you presents, bag of apples, pumpkin pie. Takes you out to climb the mountain, silhouetted on the sky. Harvest Moon above the hills, Bold Orion burnin' bright, Autumn shows you magic in the night

Sometimes - melancholy, sometimes cheerful, sometimes chill
When she greets you in the morning, never know what face she will
be wearing, but those constant changes serve to keep you on your toes.
Who you'll meet tomorrow, only Autumn knows. break

Autumn wants to wander, here to visit not to stay.
Restless feet and swirling skirts, hears the call then on her way.
Fire burnin' on the hearth, glowing coals to warm the evening
Still the world's a little colder,-- when Autumn leaves.
Days are growin' longer, winds are blowin' stronger
It's time for Winter's song, when Autumn leaves
