The leaves curl up and brown
The birds find warmer ground
And every willow finds its pillow
Waves relinquish sound
Although the sky turned cold
And breezes followed suit
The autumn love that’s clinged to me
Will never bite the boot
I will not love again
The way I love the one who brought you back to me
I found my one to be right where I am
I said I needed time alone and time alone I took
Now look I’m happy as a clam
I couldn’t find these charms in any other arms
These arms that made me see
This woman I can be, true as I am
I knew I needed time alone
My own reform, a place called home
Inside I proudly find a way to plainly see
What I could find in me
