Chill of an Early Fall

Well, her old friend, from her own end of town, dropped by today
And way down deep inside me, something died
When he came 'round to see her that way
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind
Will blow like a cold winter squall

And I'll begin to feel
The chill of an early fall

And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls
There's a storm coming on
And it won't be too long till the snow falls
Oh, I'll be sober some
But when October comes and goes, in no time at all

I'll begin to feel
The chill of an early fall

Oh, how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow
Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight
I've shivered all day, and when I look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away

Oh, she'll swear that it's true
He's just someone she knew long ago
And I'll know that's not all

And I'll begin to feel
The chill of an early fall
Oh, I'll begin to feel
The chill of an early fall
