The Fall Lyrics

Adirondack mountains

Old, rounded and worn

Glacial moraine

Left reminders of stone

Hudson river

Grows wide and deep headin' south

Sacondoga head waters

To the river's mouth

Mountain town

Hugging the shore

First dam on the river

Powers the mill below

Men make a good living

Union scale they'll pay

Bigger house for the family

New truck next pay day

Mountains journey to the valleys below

River's waters past the seasons flow

Even though fall colors can still take your breath

The leaves are falling like the days you have left

In the fall of the year

Word came from the top

This mill's closin'

All work will stop

Building our factories

Somewhere cross the sea

Don't need ya no more

But thanks a lot

Mountains journey to the valleys below

River's waters past the seasons flow

Even though fall colors can still take your breath

The leaves are falling like the days you have left

Then things changes

Not for the best

Boarded up windows

Reflect emptiness

Even though fall colors

Can still take your breath

The leaves are falling

Like the days you have left

Even though fall colors

Can still take your breath

The leaves are falling

Like the days you have left
