Clouds in yellow puddles sail like ships across the sky,
And the rowan tree by the window blushes, standing high.
I’m on my way home, through the streets I used to run,
I can hear every rustle, every whisper of the sun.
Over a quiet river, a pile of leaves is circling slow,
Dancing in the breeze, a secret that the water knows.
Every sound is familiar, every step feels like a vow,
Right here in this moment, I don’t need to figure out.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I want to sing so much, while the foliage dances down,
It’s like there’s no time to keep up, like the moments slip and drown.
As if autumn is right, as if this is the way it’s meant to be,
In this golden, fading light, I finally see.
[Chorus]
Golden autumn, sing with me, let the air be full of sound,
Golden autumn, give me peace, wrap this day around.
A brass chime falls from the apple trees, a melody so old,
And the soul flies in unison, beyond the cold.
Golden autumn, take your time, don’t rush the fading sun,
Golden autumn, hold it close, before the night has won.
This light is on my window, warm against the glass,
This song in silence speaks the truth that lasts.
[Bridge]
If it gets colder, I will remember this day,
Warm smoke from the chimneys, the world turning grey.
Every slope is crimson, painted by the setting light,
Let the snowstorm someday touch our doorstep in the night.
But I’ll be back here on the path where the leaves still tell their tale,
Where October gave me the sound of a quiet, steadfast heart.
No matter how the seasons change, or how the years unfold,
This moment stays with me, in stories yet untold.
[Chorus]
Golden autumn, sing with me, let the air be full of sound,
Golden autumn, give me peace, wrap this day around.
A brass chime falls from the apple trees, a melody so old,
And the soul flies in unison, beyond the cold.
Golden autumn, take your time, don’t rush the fading sun,
Golden autumn, hold it close, before the night has won.
This light is on my window, warm against the glass,
This song in silence speaks the truth that lasts.
