rain in the wind

starts spreading the news

autumn’s here Bill

no business

like raking leaves Michael

some enchanted evening

smoke

gets in your eyes Bill

climbing

every mountain

aspen yellow Michael

sunrise, sunset

closer each day Bill

somewhere, lost in the leaf pile,

memories

of summer love Michael
