Autumn

Sun came up this morning
Cold autumn day
Geese are flying, South for the winter
Tryin’ hard to get away

I try to hide a shiver
The river tries to hold its warmth
But the river, cannot hide from winter
It cannot get away

I am a man of summer
Of open fields and rain
And forests, alive with the season
A man of longer days

So I’ll brace myself for what comes after
The white cold winter days
And wish I could hide from winter
And dream of longer days
But I cannot get away
I'll never get away
