Seasons Change - Jerry Jeff Walker

There is less light and the night is longer now

The air is full of something strange

No more at ease the geese fly stronger now

Because they know the seasons change

The gentle dove knows love is over now

Wanderlust sets him aflame

My heart must start to play the rover now

Because I know the seasons change

Summer’s here and then it’s gone

Spots are changing on the fawn

Spring and summer held my heart

But I can feel the winter breaking all of that apart

Through autumn leaves I see your face right now

Your dress is wet with the summer rain

And though we loved I must erase you now

Because I know the seasons change

You must understand

Everything throughout the land will be another color soon

Winter breezes, autumn’s moon

Our love is short, it cannot stay

It came by night, it’s gone by day

The seasons change
