The Fall is comin', leaves are turnin'
Nature's intention to bring change
As the season cools I think of you
While the heat of our passion remains
Over and over images play
Of us merged in harmony
It's late September and I watch the leaves float away
There are many ideas of paradise
Mine is being with you
You are the blossom in our Spring
Its late September and my life is changing
Please don't tire of waiting
I'll be with you soon
I look back, to a year ago
Curled up in the alcove of our room
We talk endlessly, many different things
No idea of the time of day
It's like a movie scene
We doodle on a magazine, kisses in between
Monkeys howl, cicadas play, tin roof clatters in the rain.
We don't care about the weather, we just want to be together
It's late September and I watch the leaves float away
There are many ideas of paradise
Mine is being with you
You are the blossom in our Spring
Its late September and my life is changing
Please don't tire of waiting
I'll be with you soon
As the sun rises, I lie awake
Study the shadows playing on your face
Changes of expression, as you sleep
Watching circles of emotion
Laughter and joy
Happy and sad, angry and lost, strong and bold, yet so soft
So much beauty in your soul
And then you open your eyes, showing startled surprise
It's late September and I watch the leaves float away
And then you smile, it's breakfast time
Slice some bread, put the coffee on
Fruits and grains, berries and seeds
We have everything we need, Simplicity
Don't need to go online or see the News on TV
We'll just take a stroll to the corner store and tiptoe in the sea.
There are many ideas of paradise
Mine is being with you
You are the blossom in our Spring
Its late September and my life is changing
Please don't tire of waiting
I'll be with you soon
So, I will fly to, the other side of the world
I lock up as the taxi arrives
Mary next door, she waves goodbye
Smiles and pulls the curtain to
When I join you, things may have changed
But I am going to take that chance
All I can do is believe
Believe in love, believe in myself, believe in you
And believe that you'll still love me
I will be with you and we can stroll to the corner cafe and together gaze out to sea
