As the summer ends, the leaves will change from green to red
And light begins to shy away, leaving decay in its stead
Will you stay by me, admire all there to see?
And when the seasons turn, will you still be there for me?
Running through the leaves before the hold of night
Watch the fiery autumn skyline burning bright, singing
Ah, ah, take me away
Ah, ah, fly me away
'Til it's all okay
Gaze into my eyes, and holy my spirit in your grasp
Give me all the strength I need and love I know will last
Help me with my pain; I'll do the same for you if you please
We'll float on together through life's never ending seas
As we harvest all the fruits of all our seeds
Hear the flowing wind as it whispers through the trees, singing
Ah, Ah, take me away
Ah, Ah, fly me away
'Til it's okay
'Til it's okay
Ah, Ah x6
[The lyrics on the Uncooked album were improvised, as there were no lyrics written for the bridge]
The trouble seems to come
From the darkest at the dawn
Guess we're floating down the streams
So it seems, so it seems
Were all just autumn dreams
[Actual lyrics for the bridge:
From lying in the sun
To games we haven't one
These ever-better schemes
So it seems
Were all just autumn dreams]
As the night gets cold, I still hold you close to me
Silent in the shadows of what we know we could be
Summer's now behind us, dead is all that grew
What now lays ahead, I wish that I still knew
Nothing's certain in the fires of the fall
Now you're gone, I cry to find point in it all, Singing
Ah, Ah, Take me away
Ah, Ah, oooh
Ah, Ah, Take me away
Ah, Ah, Fly me away
'Til it's all okay
