© 1997 The intoxicating beauty of the woods in fall reminds us that each day is for taking stock and giving thanks.

lyrics

While leaves turn yellow, red and gold - red and gold, red and gold
Gather firewood for the cold
Take a drink of autumn - take a drink of autumn

The leaves return to earth below - earth below, earth below
And decompose so more can grow
Smell the season turning - smell the season turning

The pine are guardians of the green - of the green, of the green
They keep a promise in between
Till winter turns to springtime - till winter turns to springtime

The crops are in, the barn is full - barn is full, barn is full
The cows are fat, thick is the wool
Each day is for thanksgiving - each day is for thanksgiving

We're in the balance, dark and light - dark and light, dark and light
The time for taking stock is right
And putting things in order - and putting things in order

A flock of geese is flying south - flying south, flying south
A whispered wish escapes my mouth
My heart is flying with them - my heart is flying with them
