Sweet burn of sun and August wind
Summer love comes to an end
And now the skies are dark and gray
As if the sun has lost its way
The Autumn trees begin to weep
Baring their souls before they sleep
I’ll rake their sorrows from the past
Mourn all beauty that did not last
When life becomes both sharp and cold
I’ll long for you again to hold
I’ll harvest all the love I can
And hope to one day be your man
I’ll pray for us when Fall is done
For heat from love and Winter’s sun
When birds return I too will sing
About the joy your love will bring
But if you choose my heart to break
Before the trees begin to wake
Come Summer from the sky above
You’ll feel my warmth of summer love
