This Time Of Year



those foses barking at the moon
tell me easy weather
will soon be gone
frost is in the air
change is everywhere darlin'
this time of year
a change comes over me

I go out walking in the woods
the wold ones
have little food to find
butterflies are dying
wild geese are flying southward
this time of year
all nature shows me signs

my friends they come to visit me
I'll bake them muffins
and pass the honeyed tea around
if the stove is working right
we'll stay up talking for half the night
oh this time of year
my friends don't let me down

and this old farm we'll lay to rest
the crop is in
and we've stored the best away
ice is on the pond
my weary mind is wondering why
this time of year
a change comes over me

those foxes barking at the moon
tell me easy weather
will soon be gone
frost is in the air
change is everywhere darlin'
this time of year
a change comes over me
