Autumn Wanders in Summer

[Verse 1]
In the summer, autumn wanders
Leaves like whispers fall and sway
In the rain and sun and thunder
Changing moods in brighter array

In the summer, autumn wanders
Smiles and tears within her glance
Uninvited, softly ponders
In her eyes a fleeting chance

[Verse 2]
In the summer, autumn lingers
Like a shadow in the sun
Silent questions brush my fingers
Answers hidden one by one

Rustling secrets gather around me
Golden doubts beneath my feet
How to blend the truth that found me
With the dreams that taste so sweet

[Verse 3]
Is she warning or just wishing
Why she tiptoes through my days
All my hopes and all ambitions
Dance in bittersweet malaise

Will I know where I am going
When her colors start to fade
In the summer, softly knowing
Even the sunshine wears the shade

[Verse 4]
In the summer, autumn lingers
Like a shadow in the sun
Silent questions brush my fingers
Answers hidden one by one

Rustling secrets gather around me
Golden doubts beneath my feet
How to blend the truth that found me
With the dreams that taste so sweet
