lyrics

As the blazing summer sun is slowly sinking,
And the cold winter winds begin to blow;
It's of the time of falling leaves I am singing,
When the golden hues of autumn begin to show.

Oh my darling, can you see the fields of parsley,
And the garlics all harvested for the town;
The air is filled with the smell of sage and barley,
Just the night to wear your favorite evening gown.

The neighbors dance and sway,
To the music that they play,
That speaks of the time they've come to know;
And it's the time of falling leaves they are singing,
When the golden hues of autumn begin to show.

As the moon shines down upon the children sleeping,
Fast protecting all their dreams from sudden harm;
The commoners have all retired for the evening,
The sheep and cattle are resting safe in the farm.

The day has come to pass,
They'll be many more to last,
Before the land is covered with snow;
It's of the time of falling leaves that we are singing,
When the golden hues of autumn begin to show.

It's of the time of falling leaves we am singing,
When the golden hues of autumn begin to show.
