lyrics

Autumn Rain
October 2019 - Toronto
 
He’s been listening to the pouring rain
Tears dripping down the window pane
Grey solemn sky
Watch the season die
Not the man that he used to be
Take a look, it’s plain to see
He seems so tired
He’s uninspired

And it’s an autumn rain
Lost souls are swirling around
Wind on the blow shaking leaves to the ground
Eyes dead ahead and his collar flipped up
Turning inside when the going gets tough
It’s an autumn rain
Last sun clinging like a dying leaf
Each lonely day is little more brief
Big clouds looming in a swollen sky
Highway gleaming with a devil’s smile
It’s an autumn rain

Early morning and the fog rolls in
Another chance to start again
Hand to the plow
Half-frozen ground
He’s been trying to reap what he sowed
Once swore he’d yield a-hundredfold
Claims unfulfilled
Land never tilled

And it’s an autumn rain
Lost souls are swirling around
Wind on the blow shaking leaves to the ground
Eyes dead ahead and his collar flipped up
Turning inside when the going gets tough
It’s an autumn rain
Last sun clinging like a dying leaf
Each lonely day is little more brief
Big clouds looming in a swollen sky
Highway gleaming with a devil’s smile
It’s an autumn rain

Rain is gone and the sorrow is sealed
Wiper scraping on a dry windshield
Back on the road
Nowhere to go
Keeps on running away from the hurt
His old house sinks into the dirt
Seasons go ‘round
Leaves turn to brown


And it’s an autumn rain
Lost souls are swirling around
Wind on the blow shaking leaves to the ground
Eyes dead ahead and his collar flipped up
Turning inside when the going gets tough
It’s an autumn rain
Last sun clinging like a dying leaf
Each lonely day is little more brief
Big clouds looming in a swollen sky
Highway gleaming with a devil’s smile
It’s an autumn rain
