Dave Goulder)
Summer comes October
The green becomes the brown
The leaves will all be red and gold
Before they touch the ground
Before they touch the ground, my dear
Before they touch the ground
The long and lonely winter will be here
The earlyautumn evening
Was once the afternoon
But now the chill and frosty night
It always comes too soon
It always comes too soon, my dear
It always comes too soon
The long and lonely winter will be here
The whitethroat and the swallow
Are nowhere to be found
And the redwing is upon the land
Before you turn around
Before you turn around, my dear
Before you turn around
The long and lonely winter will be here
The traveller has left the road
So very long and still
And the sun will wait till the winter through
Before he leaves the hill
Before he leaves the hill, my dear
Before he leaves the hill
The long and lonely winter will be here
Summer comes October
A season here and gone
And very little time to lose
Before the day is done
Before the day is done, my dear
Before the day is done
The long and lonely winter will be here
