Golden Glow of Autumn

lyrics

Empty branches scrape the sky so clean. Wintry fingers claw the clouds on high. It's been a year since I kissed you hello in the eaves with the porch light low in the golden glow of autumn.

Cattle come inside to sleep at night. Bales of hay laying warm and dry. It's been a year since I laid with you. There is no time when your love is new in the golden glow of autumn.

By the river where your child was born, the corn was green and the sun was warm. There were hawks hanging in the sky from the sweltering heat of July to the golden glow of autumn.
