Lyrics
The First Chill of Autumn
High upon the hillside
The treeless hills where time is running slow
I heard the north wind breathing
Looking down at the valley far below
I heard a voice inside
A voice that said beware
And I felt the first chill of autumn in the air
The light was glowing golden
I watched a river as it sparkled in the sun
I sensed the seasons turning
And made for home as the day was almost done
The day was full of wonder
A day beyond compare
But I felt the first chill of autumn in the air
Birds gather on the wire
They chatter in the dusk
Perhaps they share the things they know
Sunset burns like fire
Orange turns to rust
Soon it will be time for them to go
I saw a look that lingered
A searching look as if she saw a far off place
I remember the touch of her fingers
And the hint of a smile upon her face
I knew that she was leaving
Even though she cared
And I felt the first chill of autumn in the air
