Chestnut Tree

I found today
a chestnut tree
that made me smile
just down the street
from where I'm living now
but though I know you're far away
I've been thinking of the way you spent your day

autumn's here again and life is turning 'round
dying to be reborn with the wind
and when October ends I'll fly to where you live again
and quietly move in

the things that make
me sad today
are the autumns past
and childhood days
that never last
the tears that fall
from off my cheek
are the only words
my soul knows how to speak

autumn's here again and life is turning 'round
dying to be reborn with the wind
and when October ends I'll fly to where you live again
and quietly move in

I'll take an hour
this afternoon
to walk alone
with all the lives
I might have known
'cause I can hear
the autumn call
more reasons now
to watch the chestnuts fall

autumn's here again and life is turning 'round
dying to be reborn with the wind
and when October ends I'll fly to where you live again
and quietly move in
and when October ends I'll fly to where you live again
and quietly move in
