Fall in love with fall

The sky is grey
The wind ripples through the trees and tugs on my hair
raindrops mark the tips of every blade of grass
You begin to understand why it's so easy to
Fall in love with fall

The weather cools down, the dams fill up
The earth sighs after the sweltering heat
Warmer clothes come out of mothballs
Yes it's clear to see why people
Fall in love with fall

Daylight savings end and darkness comes
Easter one step around the bend
Children relaxed after Christmas break
You can't tell me people don't
Fall in love with fall

And for me there is Melbourne
Comedy festival
The cold breeze freezing me, alcohol bringing warmth
Yes I know why I
Fall in love with fall

Trees loose their leaves
People loose their hearts
I loose my mind
I long for Autumn all the time because I have
Fallen in love with fall

Gorgeous *g* Autumn is my absolute favourite season, and not just because of comfest, and this is a fitting tribute to it *s*

Shadow, this is great!
I agree with you about Autumn being the best time of year.
Fortunately, I see I'm not the odd one out with all the others starting Spring.

Bottoms up!!

Oh, lovely! I am also a 'fall' person. Over here, we're just getting into spring!
