As summer fades away
I feel the coldness come
I sit in the wet grass
and my hands begin to numb

I close my eyes
and dream of summer
all green and golden brown
as I feel the wind on my face
my smile becomes a frown

I hear the leaves bounce
over the streets
and the birds-
they fly on by

The sun sets early
and the darkness comes
and the trees begin to cry

-They shed their leaves
which loose their life
in the stillness of the night

and the sun rises late in the
morning- a dull dingy gray
and I long to feel the warmth
of that past summer day
