(Verse 1) My summer sun is fading Taking parts of me away You watch the shifting shadows In the words I try to say The house is getting quiet My gaze is drifting far A stranger living softly Wondering who you are But there’s a crispness in the morning A chill against the glass And I’m praying for the season When the green begins to pass (Chorus) So I think I best be leaving you in Autumn It’s always been your favorite time of year How you loved the changing colors And the leaves falling down It’s the only time of year you might bounce back and come around If there’s any time of year to hit rock bottom I think I best be leaving you in Autumn (Verse 2) My memories, they drop like acorns from the trees The winter of my mind blowing in on every breeze I look at you with static Trying hard to find your name But when the maple turns to crimson I still feel a sudden flame So I think I best be leaving you in Autumn So , I think I best be leaving you in Autumn (Instrumental) (Bridge) And it sounds so cruel to say I just don’t wanna leave you hurtin But your life is getting hard And I don’t wanna be a burden (Chorus) So, I think I best be leaving you in Autumn It’s always been your favorite time of year How you loved the changing colors And the leaves falling down It’s the only time of year You might bounce back and come around If there’s any time of year to hit rock bottom I think I best be leaving you in Autumn (Outro) You’ll get a flash of who I used to be A spark behind my eyes Before the final curtain drops And takes you by surprise If there’s any time of year to hit rock bottom I think it’s best I’m leaving you in Autumn I love you more
