Lyrics
Cold September Rain
Already the trees turn, already the wind burns
I can't recall such a cold September, blooming is over
How long will the sun sleep? How long will the rain keep
Keep rushing down to the cold September ground?
Summer seemed to fill the world with beauty
In your arms the beauty captured me
Then the early frost that brought your leaving
Now this lonely autumn cold keeps raining down on me
How hollow the wild reed, how brittle with frailty to green again
In this cold September rain
