lyrics

Early fall
A cold drizzle turns to frosty flurries
Tumbling and twirling in the glimmer of the street lamps
Humming pedal tones against the northwest hiss
Below the rustle of the
Last few wrinkled desiccated leaves


First snowfall
All the gutters clogged with sooty slush
With decomposed debris mixed up or frozen to the asphalt
All the students wear bright colored rain boots
So they won’t get wet and washed out
Graying to translucent spectral shades

October iced over
This is not the autumn I know
Geometric snowflakes floating
Sharp precise and beautiful

October iced over
This is not the autumn I know
Glassy branches, curling ice forms
Alien and beautiful

Halloween
All the trick-or-treaters dressed as skiers
Gathering and gorging to prepare for hibernation
We are headed for a hard, cold winter
So we’d better spend it dreaming
Underneath a comforter of snow

October iced over
This is not the autumn I know
Piles of prismic crystal powder
Glittering and beautiful

October iced over
Let’s spend winter dreaming
Underneath a comforter of snow
Dreaming underneath a comforter of snow
Dreaming underneath a comforter of snow
Dreaming underneath a comforter of snow
