Autumn Song-Will Cookson

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Will Cookson [00:14.60]Sunday morning, she's still asleep and breathing soft [00:23.09]Awoken by the kettle whistle [00:30.83]Send from the distant moss-hung keep to the drowsy croft [00:40.23]A prayer my flower won't become her thistle [00:48.22]As I train my fingers to the steel to bring us luck [00:57.77]And now she's found my weakness [01:01.68]She's in my heart and in my dreams and in my waking up [01:09.57]She's in the clay and the landscape [01:12.60]Drawing on my coffee cup [01:14.83] [01:29.01]Bleary-eyed, the dawn birds sing their songs of love [01:36.95]Looking for someone to hold them [01:45.79]Free from all our aimless thoughts they fly above [01:53.85]Like us just doing as Mother told them [01:57.70] [02:02.19]In leaving footprints in the lawn [02:06.39]When the dew drops freeze [02:11.69]While the world keeps spinning [02:14.47]She's in the keen touch of the frost [02:19.18]And the wind that moves the trees [02:23.38]She's in the smoke from the bonfire [02:26.61]Burning up the autumn leaves [02:29.20] [03:05.30]I numb my fingers in the steam [03:09.08]Watch the dog run away [03:13.99]From safe behind my window [03:17.38]I think up rhyme to keep us calm and fill the day [03:26.13]Now she's in each vowel [03:28.25]And consonant of every word I say
