Lyrics
[Verse]
Step by step we amble through the
woods outside the town,
Sugar pines that scrape the sky and
Birds of blue and brown,
The wind will whisper secrets through the trees and say to me,
You're almost there the valley where you're feelings will be free.
[Verse]
As I make it to the valley
many deer stop by,
They hear me speaking to myself a
scene they seldom find,
And even when a squirrel chatters
back I barely hear,
I'm in the woods lost in thought while
nature lends an ear.
[Chorus]
Autumn this has to stop today
These vices will take your life away
Don't let these things control you forever
You're future will be gone and you the grave.
[Verse]
I kneel beside a boulder as a tear starts streaming down
There's no one I can blame I had to journey out of town
What do I want my life to be my future's mine to live
Or maybe not unless I can forsake and can forgive
[Chorus]
Autumn this has to stop today
These vices will take your life away
You could have so much joy with loved ones by your side
You're future can be bright just seize the day
[Verse]
The child that I used to be should
never know my plight
The woman in my time ahead is
helpless to decide
The young one's time has long since gone the
other yet remains
But here down in this valley (this valley)
they both love me the same
[Short Interlude]
[Chorus]
Autumn your life can start today
The woman you want to be can stay
You're yet as still alive with courage you can thrive
Before you know it you'll have won the day
[Bridge]
My winter hasn't come I surely
can spring back to life
The grass is still so green upon this side
It doesn't matter how these vines have
grown so thick on me
They're bursting now today for good I'm
leaving them behind
