Autumn waits at the door
Hair in golden leaves
She says nothing
But she speaks to me
The sun has yet to rise
The room is warm and still
She comes there beside me
And closes her eyes
Who can say what’s unknown
Who can say what’s true
If there’s a God who can say
She’s not lying – right next to you
April waits at the window
Singing colors and blooms
Perfume sweet
Her song fills the room
Who can say what’s unknown
Who can say what’s true
If there’s a God who can say
She’s not lying – right next to you
Time has slipped from it’s groove
The record plays and plays
There’s no end in sight
The music goes on for days and days
Now the score winds down
The conductors giving the sign
The first chair violin
Plays a sad closing line
Who can say what’s unknown
Who can say what’s true
If there’s a God who can say
She’s not lying – right next to you
