Autumn Song (acoustic)

[Verse 1]
On a misty autumn morning
You can hear the wild birds call
Giving chilly winter warning
That the evening star will fall

[Verse 2]
I feel the wind that sings their crying
I wish the dying sun goodbye
And I stand to see them flying
To a warm and welcome sky

[Bridge]
And I stay to meet cold winter
To crunch the crackling ice and snow
To walk alone beneath bare branches
And wonder why you had to go

[Verse 3]
The empty rooms they echo laughter
The broken door creaks one more song
And in the silence that comes after
Dusty floors, they ask "How long?"

*Whistling*

[Bridge]
And I stay to meet cold winter
To crunch the crackling ice and snow
To walk alone beneath bare branches
And wonder why you had to go

[Verse 4]
Soon I'll find winter clothes to hold me
And wrap myself against the cold
But frost and fire, they never told me
There is no peace in growing old

[Outro]
There is no peace in growing old
