lyrics

As autumn blows the bones of winter in
scarlet leaves ride the wind
deeper nights come closing in
stay close to hearth and home
redgum burns in fireside
wood smoke drifts into the night
awaken in the chilly light
rejoice the harvest's home

Warm days leaving, winters creeping
make your nest and bide your time
chill winds reaching, Jack Frost's seeking
the call of winter time

Dusty sunsets and searching winds
shadows lengthen as the days draw in
signalling the summer’s end
the woods will soon be sleeping
clear is the air through golden days
soon mist will weave and light will wane
for now it is the time of change
the time of long nights dreaming

Bright flames leaping, dogs lie sleeping
warm your hands by fireside
chill winds reaching, Jack Frost's seeking
the call of winter time

Come said the leaves to the wind one day'
come over the meadows and we will play
put on your dresses of scarlet and gold
for the summer is gone and the days grow cold

Autumn rains still the dust
drowning leaves of red and rust
tree's stripped bare by sudden gusts
the weather cock is spinning
toadstools mark the forest floor
beneath the bare limbed corridor
the coldest time returns once more
and the dark time is beginning

Warm days leaving, winter's creeping
warm your hands by fireside
chill winds reaching, Jack Frost's seeking
the call of winter time
