autumn

[lyrics by Andrew Buller, tune by suno.com - created in Canterbury, Kent - 30/10/24] [short instrumental] hum (hum) hum (hum) autumn (autumn) autumn (autumn) [short instrumental] I am autumn born at its beginning I have often wondered what, if anything, that means? I'm the season whose handiwork's finally seen the spider who's web finally gleams with jewels reserved for the finest cloak with the soft, first rays, that daylight broke [short instrumental] [chorus] I am autumn (I am autumn) I am autumn (I am autumn) born within mists, colours, explosions fruits, feasts and firesides yet cold winds, failings, confusions stripping back and letting go o what conclusions? (o what conclusions?) hum (hum) hum (hum) autumn (autumn) autumn (autumn) [short instrumental] I am autumn at the turning of the page to vibrant colour at the bursting of the taste buds in passionate fruits at the stretching of the mists with pointed fingers heralding the spiralling downward dance the spiralling, spiralling downward dance into dark [short instrumental] [dance] [chorus] I am autumn (I am autumn) I am autumn (I am autumn) born within mists, colours, explosions fruits, feasts and firesides yet cold winds, failings, confusions stripping back and letting go o what conclusions?

(o what conclusions?) hum (hum) hum (hum) autumn (autumn) autumn (autumn) [short instrumental] wipe away, sweep away fallen leaves let's see how the winter grieves let's see how winter grieves o how I long for the spring but not for the one that leads back to this song I long for the life beyond I long for the life beyond
