Autumn’s Child

[Chorus]
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams dancing 'round
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams dancing down

[Refrain]
Autumn's child
Autumn's child

[Verse 1]
Autumn's child got a loophole 'round her finger
Halo rings her head
Cornhusk hair makes me linger
A cat's stare meets my dare
A man's chair greets my stare
Gonna be my wife, she sang, she said
Ooh, she's gonna be my wife, gonna spice my life, she said

[Chorus]
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams everywhere
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams fill the air

[Verse 2]
Harvest moon be nimble
Apple dunking tremble
Fish pond streaks of kind
Found the child I had to find
Apple shine share together
Got the time to make her mine
Fish pond streaks of kind
Found the child I had to find

[Verse 3]
Autumn's child, I met her at a balloon bus picnic
Ooh, she caught me with her beauty quick
With jade-green eyes
Buttons and bows and fancy ties
The feet of dust under trees of rust
Make them sandals gambol under knees of trust
Gonna be my wife, gonna spice my life
Gonna be my wife, she sang, she said
Gonna be my wife, gonna spice my life, she said

[Chorus]
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams shining down
Go back ten years ago
Sunbeams glancin' 'round

[Refrain]
Autumn's child
Autumn's child
Autumn's child
Autumn's child
