lyrics

Autumn Wind

Autumn wind blowing in the sunshine
Autumn wind proud & wild & free
Autumn wind gentle as a fine wine
Won't you bring my woman back to me?

Long ago, when life was for the learning
I went away, away across the sea
Suddenly before the year was turning
My love was lost, was lost to me.

I have searched unto the end of rainbows
But no man can tell me where she'd be
Autumn wind tell me where my love goes
Won't you bring my woman back to me?

Chorus
Autumn wind won't you tell me what you know?
Why do oceans roar & mighty rivers flow?
Autumn wind won't you tell me what you know?
Where does love & loving go? Lord, where does love & loving go?

Autumn wind I have searched the oceans
And deserts where hopes have gone to die
Lost to god devout in my devotion
Through cities as haunted as the sky.

I have walked down streets of desperation
Past highways dark & cold and mean
A hundred ports, a thousand railway stations
But every day was another broken dream.

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus

Autumn wind the nights are for self-hating
Autumn wind the days are bitter grey
Autumn wind my heart & soul are breaking
Won't you tell her I'm sorry I went away?

Autumn wind blowing in the sunshine
Autumn wind won't you hear my plea?
Autumn wind bring back what was once mine
Won't you bring my woman home to me?
Won't you bring my woman home to me?
Won't you bring my woman home to be.
