Autumn Song

Helpless as a fading rose
At the close of summer
My heart lies in deep repose
For the autumn sun
Winter's winds can blow so cold
Rushing in the springtime
Latent years now chain my soul
To the autumn sun

To all of you
Whose love is still unborn
Beware of time
It bears a painful thorn

Birds that fly across the sky
Sheep that roam the meadow
All these things in time must die

Like the autumn sun
Like the autumn sun
