Autumn Eve

And harvest your most honest words
Pick them when the season ripens red
And collect all the kindest lines
Spread them like a grapevine
And winter won't last too long
Store a bounty of joyful song
And embrace every ember
They're more valuable than gold
With all those layers of timber
That wrap around your bones
You should know, you should know

And harvest your most honest words
Pick them when the season ripens red
And collect all the kindest lines
Spread them like a grapevine
And winter won't last too long
Store a bounty of joyful song
And embrace every ember
They're more valuable than gold
With all those layers of timber
That wrap around your bones

Autumn eve, autumn eve
Autumn eve, autumn eve
Autumn eve, autumn eve
Autumn eve, autumn eve
Autumn eve, autumn eve

Autumn eve, autumn eve
The Japanese maple sheltered me
On the snowy morning I gave birth
The bat that flew above my head
To get me up out of my bed
It's time to go outside and see your breath
And mother nature called on you to be a mother
Raise your baby right
Mother nature called on you to be a mother
Raise your baby right

Autumn eve, autumn eve
The Japanese maple welcomed me
On the snowy morning I gave birth
I waited for that field to bloom
To fill the air with sweet perfume
To tell my darling daughter all her worth
And mother nature called on you to be a mother
Raise your baby right
Mother nature called on you to be a mother
Raise your baby right
