When an early autumn walks the land
And chills the breeze
And touches with her hand the summer trees
Perhaps you'll understand
What memories I own
There's a dance pavilion in the rain
All shuttered down
A winding country lane
All russet brown
A frosty window pane
Shows me
A town grown lonely
That spring of ours
That started so April-hearted
Seemed made for just a boy and girl
I never dreamed, did you,
Any fall would come in view
So early, early
Darling, if you care, please, let me know
I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so
Let's never have to share another early autumn
When an early autumn walks the land
