Lyrics
© McCulloch/Jarrell, 2003
October fields are sleepy
They?ve surrendered what they?ve grown
The harvest moon casts shadows
Where the falling leaves have blown
The air is crisp and innocent
With the promise of a frost
Hoot owls talk amongst themselves
Now that summer has been lost
Families assemble for the annual retreat
The fireplace is crackling
And the women warm their feet
Evening walks and front porch talks
Oh the closeness that it brings
The cycle of the seasons
Invites the Gathering
The trees invent new colours
As they gracefully agree
To bare their limbs to winter winds
Until April brings relief
The birds have inner wisdom
Instinct shows the way
The timeless pull of nature calls
As we watch them fly away
Families assemble for the annual retreat
The fireplace is crackling
And the women warm their feet
Evening walks and front porch talks
Oh the closeness that it brings
The cycle of the seasons
Invites the Gathering
