Well, her old friend, from her own end of town Dropped by today And way down deep inside me something died When he came 'round to see her that way Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind Will blow like a cold winter squall And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls There's a storm coming on It won't be too long 'til the snow falls Oh I'll be sober some But when October comes and goes and no time at all I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
Oh, how quick they slip away Here today and gone tomorrow Love and seasons never stay Bitter winds are sure to follow Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight I've shivered all day and when I look in her eyes Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away Oh, she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew Long ago and I'll know that's not all And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall Oh, I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
