Autumn - Colors of A Shade

The day was old - the light was dim, as I stepped through the door

And all my friends were gathering that day that I recall

I shivered and shook, Lord I stood just waiting to chase the fall

I wondered how my time would be when spring comes round once more

I face the wind - I have no choice, but you must guard the heart

And cast adrift from those I love, alone I drag my heart

Against the cry of "why?" I turn my back to go

But out beyond the tears somewhere, someone I need to know

Old photographs were fading dim - my seed will tell it all

And by the fathers' fathers' hands such pain on all was raw

They read the signs without surprise of how they knew it well

And in the mirror still I see the man, who came from hell

It's only love, in the colours of the shade

It's only love, in the colours of the shade
