archie fisher - waltz into winter lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve only just noticed that the martins have flown
and their music has gone from the wire
there’s still a good hour for the sun to go down
but already i’m lighting the fire
and we welcomed the springtime the martins and i
now october will find me alone
there’s a pain in a parting without a goodbye
i’ve just noticed the martins have flown

[verse 2]
hear the high lonesome call as the wild geese pass o’er
like a freight train way up in the blue
as the arrows of autumn to a far southern shore
are flying so straight and so true
and we’re both birds of passage, the graylag and i
for the journey is all we have known
but the long winding road and the vast empty sky
will be there when the wild geese have flown

[verse 3]
and a starburst of chaffinches rise from the wind
and scatter like leaves on the air
when the summer days end and the autumn begins
is a secret the trees never share
and we’ll lean to the leeward, the tall pines and i
when the northerlies cut to the bone
and the birch and the willow and ash heave a sigh
when the last summer breezes have blown
[verse 4]
as the dance of the seasons goes round and around
there’s a time for all nature to rest
when the green summer pastures have faded to brown
and the forest with colour is blessed
we’ll waltz into winter the autumn and i
in a flurry of russet and gold
and the swirl of the snowflakes falling down from the sky
as we watch her white blanket unfold

[verse 5]
we’ll waltz into winter my sweetheart and i
in the warmth of the love we have known
and give thanks for another good year that’s rolled by
while the closer together we’ve grown
