Autumn days

'Autumn days' - Come and Praise, no 4

Autumn days

1 Autumn days when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell,
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well.

So I mustn't forget,
No, I mustn't forget,
To say a great big thank you,
I mustn't forget.

2 Clouds that look like familiar faces,
And a winter's moon with frosted rings,
Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces,
And the song the milkman sings.

So I mustn't forget,
No, I mustn't forget,
To say a great big thank you,
I mustn't forget.

3 Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered,
And a swallow curving in the sky,
Shoes so comfy though they're worn out and they're battered,
And the taste of apple pie.

So I mustn't forget,
No, I mustn't forget,
To say a great big thank you,
I mustn't forget.

4 Scent of gardens when the rain's been falling,
And a minnow darting down a stream,
Picked-up engine that's been stuttering and stalling,
And a wind for my home team.

So I mustn't forget,
No, I mustn't forget,
To say a great big thank you,
I mustn't forget.
To say a great big thank you,
I mustn't forget.
