Bitter Sweet...


Reflections in the water
Like shadows in my mind
Speak to me of passing days and nights
And passing time
The falling leaves are whispering
Winters on its way
I close my eyes remembering the warmth of yesterday
It seems a shame to see September swallowed by the wind
And more than that it’s oh so sad to see the summer end
And though the changing colors are a lovely thing to see
If it were mine to make a change
I think I’d let it be
But I don’t remember hearing anybody asking me

-John Denver, Season’s Suite, 1972

Gotta admit Jake, not had much John exposure. You sure make his lyrics lovely.

Don't we all just miss him?

Love Autumn! There is a really good song that you might like by Stephanie Smith it's called "October." It has the best lyrics that remind me of this time of year.
