The quaking of the aspen and the chill of autumn breeze
Drives the cold into my soul but also sets me free
I've wandered through these mountains though the rainclouds follow me
As light like amber honey coats the leaves of every tree
At home I know the fire glows inside the hearth
And I would never want for warmth encircled in your arms
But the quaking of the aspen and the chill of autumn breeze
Oh drives the cold into my soul but also sets me free
Leaves release their hold and fall down gently all the same
Proof is in the beauty that sunlight didn't shine in vain
So put on your fleece jacket let the autumn bite your cheeks
Let's loose ourselves in browns and golds as the forest goes the forest goes to sleep
At home I know the fire glows inside the hearth
And I would never want for warmth encircled in your arms
But the quaking of the aspen and the chill of autumn breeze
Oh drives the cold into my soul but also sets me free
Hold me
Like leaves hold onto summer
But don't forget to let me go when the forest changes color
Hold me
Like leaves hold onto summer
But don't forget to let me go when the forest changes color
At home I know the fire glows inside the hearth
And I would never want for warmth encircled in your arms
But the quaking of the aspen and the chill of autumn breeze
Oh drives the cold into my soul but also sets me free
