Journey just begun
I can finally see the hills
And the valley dark behind
Blinded by the sun
But my heart is beating still
And there's mountains yet for me to climb
Then something softly moved
Like the wind upon the fields
When first she spoke my name
And suddenly I knew
How destiny would feel
If I were ready when it came
She found me, surrounds me
Like the leaves that dance and twirl
So beautiful the summer ends
Take me home, my autumn girl
She never shows her truth
But she'll tell to you no lies
And she fills the poets' dreams
They can write, but it's no use
For she is grace personified
And she's always closer than she seems
She found me, surrounds me
Like the leaves that dance and twirl
So beautiful the summer ends
Take me home, my autumn girl
Not love, but something else
Much grander by design
And now my soul's in flames
She keeps me to herself
I surrender in her eyes
Never looking back from where I came
She found me, surrounds me
Like the leaves that dance and twirl
So beautiful the summer ends
Take me home, my autumn girl
So beautiful that the summer ends
So take me home, my autumn girl
