Autumn Gold (feat. Dónal Lunny)

My mood is clothed in Autumn’s shades

My summer sun begins to fade

Fading away with the waning year

Changing my tempo now Autumn is here

Time to leave my friends behind

I leave this town with you on my mind

The dead leaves are burning, the year is decaying

Winter returning, no use in delaying

One week ago we walked by here

I never dreamed life’s death was so near

We laughed and played the summer through

The sun is going and I must go too

Autumn Gold, then Winter snow

The sun goes south but it's north I must go

Leaving this town and the friends that I know

It’s late in the year - there’ll be ice and snow

When the sun returns I’ll come back too

I’ll write a song and I’ll sing it for you
